Now you have piqued my curiousity -- I feel I should probably know this, but amazingly, I have not needed to do this until recently, and it has to do with managing my *wife's* mail.

What version Exchange are you using? Is it 5.5? There is a quick way to find out if the IMAP is working as you expect -- see if you can find someone running Outlook and connecting to the server via IMAP (Note: for most domain setups, Outlook uses some Microsoft-specific method of connecting, instead of IMAP or POP3), and test on their system. There is a "virtual search folder" function in OL2003 (not sure about earlier versions) and see if it works. If it doesn't, then you may need to use procmail. Evolution (the version that comes with FC6) has the search folder function, but I can't test on my system because I have no IMAP server to connect to. You may want to try using Evolution. IMAP is supposed to keep all mail on the server, so there should be no danger in losing any mail. But, 4000 emails? Wow! I don't know how you can get through them even if you sorted them out. Sounds like you may need some kind of AI engine that automatically responds. ;) Regards.
