Hi All, I use Outlook (I know, I know...) as my e-mail client. I've got rules set up that move PICList messages into their own folder so I can keep 'em around for ready reference. I stumbled upon a nifty utility that integrates into Outlook and allows lightning fast searches of past e-mail. It's called 'Lookout' (original, huh?) and is free. I've been using only for a few days, and it doesn't seem to have any unwanted side effects. It completely stomps Outlook's native search ability. My PICList folder contains >27,000 items and I can, for example, find every message (there are 11 of them) that contains the word 'Trimble' in approximately 1/2 second.
