i like to search my mails very fast. i tried xobni but i dislike outlook, i tried postbox (a tbird on stereoids) but i dislike the price. are there any other fulltext search engines for thunderbird?
(i access my mails via imap, so google-desktop would have a hard time to catch my mails)

as it seems, the new thunderbird3 will have full text search built in: GLODA
Mozilla Messaging has announced the availability of new Thunderbird 3 beta release. This version introduces an impressive new search feature with a timeline visualization and powerful interactive filtering support. quote

See the simile-seek add-on, advertised as :
Thunderbird extension for more effective email browsing and searching
I never used it, so can't say how good it is from personal experience.
