Well I'll have to back and look at your settings to see if I can set
something up to track.  It would be interesting.

Most of my volume of storage comes from only a few lists. TB lists are
one group. I keep all of them for a resource because I occasionally go
back to look for answers.  This is the main reason why I think the
ability to save a search would be beneficial.  IIRC it saves the last 9,
but if your looking a lot 9 doesn't get you to far. Others on the list
use another app that IIRC is Mail Bag. Maybe it is a matter of principle
but my old email program VA could save searches, and I like to stay in
the same application.

Anyhow on this P4 2.4 Ghz 500MB Ram PC I ran a manual test on time the
other day with not much change in the mail base. It took a little over
20 seconds to 500 + MB. When I do the 500 + MB from scratch it is about
10 minutes using 7z format.

Thanks for the info.
