<p>A paginated message history would make searching ("find messages I have sent to/received from user X") much more difficult (each page would have to be searched separately). Is this an acceptable downside?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Well it depends on when you paginate say at 1'000 messages the downside should be bearable.</p>
