Why does searching for message takes so long

D

Ah.. I remember the time I could search 20.000+ message (fulltext) in
Eudora in about a 10 second, faster if the mailboxes have been indexed
before.

Since then I have a much faster computer, and still.. if I try took
search my Inbox folder (hardly 5.000 messages) it takes HOOOUUUURS
(well, not really, but a few MINUTES at least) to search this folder
completely.

Why is this? Why can't Microsoft find a message as quickly as Eudora
could (still CAN btw, I still use Eudora 5.2 for personal mails) and
is there a way to fasten it, is there a third party tool, etc..

I really hope someone can answer me this question, as I'm sure I'm not
the only one who is annoyed by this.


Thanks!
