Yes, that sounds about right Mikael. I would still think that the beginning of any search would be another good time to check index validity. But now we're just tweaking our own fine tuning, so I reckon at this point it's in the hands of CTM to implement it or not. After they give me my 'Retain Recent Mail between sessions' option, of course! (Sorry, couldn't help myself). Rick -- G5 2GHz x2 :: 2GB RAM :: 10.4.9 :: PM 5.5.2 :: 3 pane mode
