I couldn't find another way, as 99.95% of the business people send
crippled mail, break threads, don't respect subjects, etc. Most of them
also think that an e-mail should look like their company headed paper
that they had in the 70's. Lotus Notes and MS Outlook are the first in
my hate list, but the main issue is lack of culture among the corporate
users. It is impossible to sort efficiently such messages, even with
Evo...

Approximately 30,000 messages in ~1.5 GB disk space (there are
attachments, mainly scanned documents). I have 8 vFolders, not much, but
enough for my case.

I don't know about the new features in CVS, but I'm pretty happy with
the present state (all my colleagues as well).
