He has a plan for the FR mail issues that will make it very manageable IIRC.

Hmmmmmmm.......I wonder if that plan includes fixing the search by sender? That would be nice. (John did say it is on the list, but not a high priority.)

You know, one of the things I would love to do is to have all of my FR mail burned onto a dvd. Then I could delete it from my mailbox. It would result in clearing ten years worth of my mail out of the FR database, and that would be a good thing. I would be willing to pay a good price for this if John or Jim would do it for me.....hint, hint. ;-)

I am actually afraid that I am going to lose it and some of it is important mail that I'd like to keep. The problem is, at this point there is way too much mail for me to go through and manually save, and I can't even find the important mail because it is buried years back. I should have been saving it as I went along.....live and learn.

Here is your answer:

He’s also planning on rebuilding the mail system. The one we have now was just a quick and dirty he threw together one night and never got around to refining.

He didn’t know at the time that it would be so popular. He had to disable the by sender feature because it was killing system performance. He’s going to redesign the database and add lots more features to the mail system as he rebuilds it.

For example, he wants each user to be able to download their mail boxes so they can manage them off line and purge the older stuff from FR. He also wants to allow “party line” multiple user freepmail so three or more people can carry on a private conversation and all parties invited are sharing the same “freepmail” thread.

That by sender thingie was great. I used it before it disappeared 'cause I needed to save some smokin' hot FR mails(LOL yep) to counter balance false statements posted by some ex-FR members.

I do know a method for finding old FR mails if you want to know I'll FR mail you.

Oh and if the scenario above is not done by the next picnic, I'm bringing ants!
