I use procmail to siphon of my mailing lists into their own seperate
mailboxes. Then I use Thunderbird to connect to dovecot IMAP on my
system. Then I subscribe to those mailboxes (they show on a list of
subscribable folders). Then I tell thunderbird to sort by date and view
by thread on those folders.
It works like a champ. Thunderbird has very strong search
capabilities. It allows searching headers and message bodies
separately. Very nice.
Currently I have this mailing list intact since '5 Jul 2006 '. It is:
... 31M Aug 22 15:21 fedora
about 31 MB. Thunderbird shows no performance penalty dealing with this
and other large mailboxes.
