My inquiry today has to do with the search facilities of the various
mail archiving tools out there. Based on my reading of the mailer
archives, the following tools seem to get a lot of mention:
* Devon
* EagleFiler
* Mail Steward
* Horcrux
* Mail Archiver X
**As baseline**, I truly love MailMate’s search facility. I find it
to be incredibly functional and an essential tool that enables me to
easily find emails especially when I have very little search criteria.
So MailMate’s search functionality is a minimum requirement for me.
**Next - my current setup**: I have a locally installed Dovecot
server that is dedicated to archives. This works great and because it
is accessible via MailMate, access & searching of archives is
essentially the same as for “live” email. And while I do love the
consistency, it is not a “must-have” like the search functionality
is.
**The issue???** Simply put, MailMate is unstable - well, it is for me
at least. Despite running various MailMate versions across different
Macs & OS versions, MailMate still crashes at least 3-5 times per
week.
It sounds like your current setup is working well for you and it will
probably be easier to fix the instability you're experiencing with
MailMate than to migrate to another solution. In my experience, Benny
is very responsive to crash reports, even from those of us on this
mailing list who have way more email than MailMate was ever designed to
handle.
Have you tried sending crash reports to Benny? Since it crashes so
often, at least the problem should be relatively easy to reproduce,
which might make it easier to fix.
