Thanks John. For what it is worth, this has just arrived on my laptop;
I saw it on my phone about 4 hours ago, and have been eagerly awaiting
it.  You might have recognised my reference to it about an hour ago.
But re-reading it, I see I over stated the number of processes you use.

Having used gmail & imap for 15 years, I figure I am way past trying to
prevent prying eyes. I have also 'mislaid' my mail here so often, that
I rely on the server much more than I should. I know that is BAD, and
we lost several weeks of mail off gmail earlier this year, but....

I'll give it a go though, as it sounds like reinstating backed up mail
is easier for when I do loose something. Will I get to leaving nothing
out there?   

Can you point me to a simple how-to, please. As I said to another
response, a good URI is an excellent answer.

Next, what is the most efficient way to search 20,000 plus files for a
string of text, especially when the string may omit an adjective?


Thanks again,
From the other side of the Pacific.


Now where has your reply been hiding?
