I know there were a couple of times when it paused due to "conflicts" where I had to choose between two offered emails. Since they always seemed to be identical, I'm not sure why that happened. Apart from that, I think there was feedback, yes. I'm not sure how many messages I have in my folders, but since they contain some archived stuff gathered over 10 years, and without attachments stripped, it would be a goodly amount. IIRC my MailDir/ on the server is about 53GB. Did your feedback look enough to assure you that it was processing _all_ your folders?
