   I definitely and very strongly support your view, which I tried to make 
clear in my phrase cited above. 

   Just the FOLDER.BAG should be reorganised, and some data added: MessageId 
(if there is one), Message-Id of a message replied to, optional keywords which 
a user might add for searching. 

   Changing that is a decision not to be taken lightly since the current way 
relies mostly on the file and directory structure what offloads a lot of work 
from PMMail to the operating system. 

   The best, maybe, is not to do away with the FOLDER.BAG (just adding those 
files), but only building index files allowing indexed access to that file, 
with Message-ID, sender, recipients, and date as keys. 

Yours,
