Note, 8 min of CPU time. Not wall clock time ;-)

Btw, not the first time I have heard from author of a software that "oh, did not know it could work for that size of data structure". First time was MSQL (not MySQL) in 1995 :-)

Like Mike O'Dell said about the future of the Internet: "The only thing you have to be afraid of is scale".

Ok, doing this now.

Will do.

Of course!

I was more curious of what MailMate is doing than requesting it to be shorter. Specifically as it seems to be in busy wait with about 800MByte allocated of RAM. Only the last few seconds it blows memory allocation to the 3-4GByte RAM it then uses for the actual normal operation (which btw is quite ok).
