POP or IMAP?
I'm using IMAP, and a folder with 15000 emails took only a minute to 
reindex from scratch. That's with the download of headers included.

Foxpro? Really? Do you have any sources about that? I can't find 
anything on Google that confirms it.

It's not that I don't believe you, but at a previous job our main 
product was built with FoxPro, so I'm a bit familiar with that database 
format, but I never noticed that OE uses it.

Anyway, Microsoft has terminated OE in favor of their Live Mail.
