Michael Zucchi and I were happy with 'm' and 'p', but since Outlook converts are what pay us money, Evolution was changed to mimic Outlook's functionality which uses alphebtic keys for searching which meant that we had to use ',' and '.' or '[' and ']' (both sets work). > > c) index files. > > 394240 Sep 22 22:57 mbox.ibex.index > 397556 Sep 22 22:57 mbox.ibex.index.data > > create a mbox file and try copying 8000-10000 emails into that, you get > a 40-50 mb mbox file. now delete as many mails until 500 emails remain, > the mbox file decreases to e.g. 5 mb but the index files are keeping > their large size AND increases by every new added message I'll let Michael Zucchi answer this.
