<p dir="auto">Hello MailMate community,</p>
<p dir="auto">My inquiry today has to do with the search facilities of the various mail archiving tools out there. Based on my reading of the mailer archives, the following tools seem to get a lot of mention:</p>
<ul>
<li>Devon</li>
<li>EagleFiler</li>
<li>Mail Steward</li>
<li>Horcrux</li>
<li>Mail Archiver X</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>As baseline</strong>, I truly love MailMate’s search facility. I find it to be incredibly functional and an essential tool that enables me to easily find emails especially when I have very little search criteria. So MailMate’s search functionality is a minimum requirement for me.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Next - my current setup</strong>: I have a locally installed Dovecot server that is dedicated to archives. This works great and because it is accessible via MailMate, access & searching of archives is essentially the same as for “live” email. And while I do love the consistency, it is not a “must-have” like the search functionality is.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>The issue???</strong> Simply put, MailMate is unstable - well, it is for me at least. Despite running various MailMate versions across different Macs & OS versions, MailMate still crashes at least 3-5 times per week.</p>
<p dir="auto">So, in an attempt to find a more stable scenario, I’ve decided to check with you all and solicit feedback regarding how well each of the above apps implements search facilities. I’ve actually tried both Devon & EagleFiler and while Devon’s search seems to rival that of MailMate, I find EagleFiler’s search to be somewhat lacking. Perhaps this is a user error issue and if so, then please feel free to educate me.</p>
<p dir="auto">So with that, I respectfully request any feedback you would like to share re: your mail archiver of choice and how well it provides search facilities.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance…</p>
