[Liverpool] Replacing Gmail: Inbox Searching

[Paxton, Darren]

Hi Andrew

I currently run my own mailserver at home with a squirrelmail frontend
to the IMAP service - it allows you to search all your subscribed
folders for various terms and although its probably not as quick as
google, I find it useful enough in terms of what it provides.

I also run Mailscanner which catches a significant amount of spam daily
and since I moved my folks onto it, they've seen a drastic reduction to
almost 0 spam messages now.

Hope this helps

Darren

As time goes on I'm being more and more concerned with the Gmail horror
stories I keep hearing, missing mail, deleted accounts, hijackings. I've
started to look at moving away from Google back to my own mail server,
but I've become so acustomed to Gmail's features that I fear about doing
so.

I know I can use maildir and procmail to replace "labels" and filtering,
but what can I do about searching? The rapid searching of my inbox is a
great feature, I'd like to replicate this in a Maildir/Mutt setup, does
anyone have any ideas on what I can use to create this?
