Postal: Using a time based pagination cursor in outgoing messages

[reshadman]

It would be nice to implement a time based pagination cursor instead of the current limit ofset strategy for outgoing messages. As the number of outgoing messages increases the query gets slower and slower.

I don't know Rails enough to implement the functionality, I would appreciate if you guide somehow on the implementation or consider the problem.

definitely worth looking at, out of curiousity, how many messages do you have?

We send around 700K per day with retention days of: 60. Working like a charm with 30 workers. Nice piece of software btw saved us around $1500 per month with a single $40 server and a simple IP warm up strategy.
