<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">It sounds like your current setup is working well for you and it will probably be easier to fix the instability you're experiencing with MailMate than to migrate to another solution. In my experience, Benny is very responsive to crash reports, even from those of us on this mailing list who have way more email than MailMate was ever designed to handle.</p>
<p dir="auto">Have you tried sending crash reports to Benny? Since it crashes so often, at least the problem should be relatively easy to reproduce, which might make it easier to fix.</p>
