Hi Everybody

I am in a small distributed (geographically) design team who regularly
communicate with each other over a long periods by email.

Some conversations go on for months and people get quite passionate
about their particular point of view.

However when it comes to looking for previous emails that re-inforce a
particular current point of view, it is difficult because they are
scattered thoughout different folders etc.

I am looking for a program that will store these emails in a database
so that they can be sorted by Date, Subject, Writer etc

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Not that I know of - Outlook can store data in a PST file or you can use an
Exchange server mailbox....that's it.
However, if you use Outlook 2003 you can use Search Folders, which might
make it easier to find the stuff in multiple subfolders.

Hi and thanks for a quick answer.

I would bet that there is already something that exists.

What is needed is a database that can be sorted in different ways

Thanks anyway

What email program are you using now? I use Thunderbird and Outlook 2003
and both will sort in many different ways. For example Outlook 2003 will
sort by date, conversation, form, to, size, subject, type, flag
attachments, email account, importance, and categories. Thunderbird has
much the same.
