Gmail's stronger point is search and they are able to give such option without serious performance issue, since they control both frontend features and email storage/backend. Their email storage backend is not IMAP based and they don't have performance issues, when they search for flagged messages. If SquirrelMail has to do that, webmail will have to run search in all your IMAP folders. Search for something in all folders with SquirrelMail and you will see how slow it can be. If you use SquirrelMail 1.5.x and enable advanced search options and search memory, you can run and save search which filters emails to flagged messages. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
