[MlMt] dealing with large mailboxes

> how are folk dealing with this?

I’m new to MM but I’m using EagleFiler for filing. It just copies each email as an `.eml` file and prunes the duplicates. You can encrypt the store, but if you choose not to, EagleFiler just stores the files in `Files` in a structure like this:

~~~~~
…/Mail Archive ❯ pwd
/path/to/my/EagleFiler/Mail Archive
…/Mail Archive ❯ ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x      8 rcogley  staff      256 Jan  2 10:51 .
drwxr-xr-x      4 rcogley  staff      128 Jan  2 10:51 ..
drwxr-xr-x  52365 rcogley  staff  1675680 Jan  2 10:51 Files
drwxr-xr-x@     6 rcogley  staff      192 Jan  2 10:50 Mail Archive.eflibrary
drwxr-xr-x      2 rcogley  staff       64 Dec 31 12:22 Notes
drwxr-xr-x     21 rcogley  staff      672 Dec 31 19:26 Smart Folders
drwxr-xr-x      3 rcogley  staff       96 Jan  2 10:43 Temporary Items.nobackup
drwxr-xr-x      2 rcogley  staff       64 Dec 31 12:22 To Import (Mail Archive)
~~~~~

EagleFiler itself then becomes a way to search the archive of emails you have. To me it’s good enough.

FYI and regards
Rick
