Unfortunatly, that doesn't work as they do not have a local mailserver,
and their agreement with the company that hosts the production mailserver
does not have sufficient storage for the extracted files even if there
were a way to get the 4GB of data there.

It isn't - I dropped a symlink from the user's home directory to the
directory where I extracted the emails.

I would disagree in any case - pushing GBs worth of archive email through
ANY mailserver (local, remote, production, test) just doesn't make sense.

I DID find a number of email 'search' tools that will provide a number of
options should they wish a more sophisticated interface.
