Well, Cyrus IMAP provides fast server-side body searches using indexes, but you'd have to configure it properly to use that feature. It is lightweight on the server side after the initial indexing (yes, it can do incremental and staggered indexing). Maybe Dovecot also needs some configuration to index mailboxes for fast searching? wu-imapd is not something one should bring up on polite conversation. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
