Yikes!  What is that?  Indexing time?  Search time?

Even with all the Unicode cruft, UW IMAP should search that many messages 
in a few seconds, with the bulk of the time being I/O.

129,634 messages in 23 hours ... guess I won't be doing that on a daily 
basis.. on the other hand, 2100 messages in 3min on the local machine 
(faster hardware, too) is a bit less unreasonable .. still 2 months to 
do 900 users. yikes! Search interface is general Web one - no search by 
From or Subject specifically, just by free text (subject appears in HTML 

title, which gets more weight etc.)

Just went to a presentation by Zimbra. Seems they index mail as it goes 
in (or is uploaded with IMAP) and can search across mailboxes with their 
Web interface. Per-mailbox with IMAP, but using the same fast index.
