mutt, rather. I hope I can configure it to use XEmacs. But still, it won't
handle a million messages. I get about 1 k messages/24 h, that's a million

messages/24 h.

I need to dump them on a large partition, and see whether Python's
standard modules for email parsing will choke on any of the mailboxes.
Once I know I can parse them all, I need to start thinking about a
relational dbase structure, and a full text indexing engine.

mutt works fine on very large mailboxes, but it has limits, of course.

I don't have a phone up either: my ISP is also doing the telephony. DSL
seems to be cursed worldwide. First you wait, then you try to get your
line debugged, and then the provider gets out of business.
I'm thinking about initiating a grassroot (wireless, fiber, copper)
Ethernet to the home project in the local community.
