 Be warned that Python support in Mahogany is in embryonic stage (well, not
really because, unlike an embryon, it used to be better before but got
worse because of complete lack of interest in it...). It could change
though.

 I didn't try it with such mailbox simply because I don't have one. Thye
largest I had was about 70000 messages and it worked fine with it. If you
want to use sorting or threading you are going to see quite some delay,
probably, but without them (right click the column headers and choose the
appropriate options _before_ opening the folder) it should be ok. On a
really fast machine (which mine isn't) it could be ok even with
sorting/threading.

 Yes, but only in the cvs version.

 Now it opens a new folder with the search results.

 This is clearly a bug. Moreover, it's one I've never heard about so I'd
need more info -- in particular, enabling the "debug mail server access"
in the lastp age of the options dialog and sending the log window contents
here would be very helpful.

DC> 4. Similar to #3: Sometimes when new mail is downloaded to a POP mailbox, 

 "To a POP mailbox"? Do you mean "from"? Or do you mean simply that new
mail appears on your POP server?

 A bug as well and I'd like to have the same info as above -- thanks!

DC> 5. How do I get messages to retain their personality when downloaded?

 The only (but natural, at least to me) way to do it now is to filter the
different messages to different folders and set different identities for
these folders.

 In "New mail" folder properties page.
