Re: Indexing an mbox file

I'm probably missing the point here. 50+MB seems rather small. I have a mail archive over 1 GB and simply use the Thunderbird mail client. I split things up in some 10 directories but this is not necessary. I can easily navigate/search all my mail.

Cheers

Consider using a different format, like maildir. (There is a 'perfect' converter available at http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/, of course written in Perl.) Or make it independant from file formats and use IMAP to access the mailbox.
