Have you tried to use the latest version of Redemption?
How big are the messages? What kind of message store do they come from (PST,
Exchange online/cached, etc)?

1. I have tried the latest version of Redemption (4.4.0.674). No
appreciable change in performance.

2. Most of the final .msg files are 15-30kb , although about 10% are
between 100kb and 300kb.

3. The message store is a local .pst file. Exchange is not involved.

I can accept that this is an expensive operation, but not without
checking first. Do you experience better performance with the SaveAs
method than I've described? I would prefer to just export plain text,
but I have to preserve the message in its original format.

Thanks for your assistance,
Ron
