you can't search for strings either in Mail.app.
Sure you can, in the version that ships with Jagwire.
I searched for the string "michelle" in all my stored mail; it took
less than 25 seconds to return 1464 messages in the summary.
I searched for the regular expression app.....ipt in 160 megabytes of
mailboxes and got 8249 messages in 32 seconds
To answer your question, a way suggested my Michle is to "set the
mailbox" of the messages. So far as I can see you can only work on
one message at a time and it takes about ONE SECOND to move a
single message, but here you are if you really want to prolong your
suffering. Try selecting 20 messages and run this script.
It took 1.5 minutes to move 195 messages. 1 GHz iMac G4.
Using Eudora's very old-fashioned loop, I selected 195 messages and
they were transferred in 45 seconds. I should think OE or Entourage
could do it in a few seconds; perhaps Paul can test this.
If Eudora's eight-year old aete can do things in half the time,
something is very wrong indeed with Mail.app. Everything it does is
like wading through treacle.
((the ticks) - t) / 60
set t to (the ticks)
tell application "Eudora"
repeat
try
move message "" to end of mailbox " temp"
on error
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
end tell
