Since upgrading my system, this has been less of an issue, but at one
time trying to keep massive numbers of messages within my email program
slowed it down. Since I accessed the majority of mail I saved very rarely
anyway, it was better to trim things down every two to three months,
keeping perhaps the last 5-6 months of mail in the mail program itself.
The FM Pro database I was using made a much better archiver, anyway, and,
until PM recently changed it's search engine, did better searches over
that large a database anyway.

Plus,you write "having to fire up FM separately" like it takes a massive
amount of time to do so. :) Click on the database, a couple dockbar
bounces, and the database is ready for searches. Boom. The wait is, at
most, a couple or three seconds. I fritter away more than that when I
fall asleep at the keyboard each afternoon. :)
