Is your IMAP server on localhost, a fast LAN, a slow/busy LAN,
or across the internet?  (Or, does it matter, since Evo locally
caches all email???)

I've got maildrop doing server-side filtering, and have found=20
that plain old Search works fine.  And since my IMAP is courier
on localhost, plain old rgrep is adequate for a surprising amount
of search tasks.
