I haven't progressed to the stage where I've thought how one would actually go about this. Work out what you want it to look like from the user's perspective first and then work backwards to find out what you need to do to make that happen.
Thanks Daniel... we'll have to exchange ideas! Using your method, are you suggesting that the user make use of Window's "Search..." feature to search the files in the mounted volume? That would be simplest I suppose. My ideas was to have the user send an email "request" to the server, which would then copy all matching messages into a special folder in the mail file... eg. "Query", so the next time they looked at that folder, their results would be there. I fear this is slightly more complex, but keeps all the processing on the server and involves minimal user education.
