I actually like the feature that messages I delete won't disappear immediately, though in fact, I *very* rarely need it.

I do have Cygwin installed. I tried swish++ once, but never managed to produce an index. If I remember correctly, I wound up with a 0-sized index. Perhaps it's time to try again.

I've hack nrgrep (the fastest grep I've found) to do record reporting and add a nrgrep backend to search my nnfolders. If you use mail-directory backends it would be trivial to add grep to nnir. > > Thanks, > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
