I'm not quite sure why you tempt fate like this, but whatever floats your boat. :) Here's my schema: Monthly, I export older e-mail from a folder I've created called, oddly enough, "Export". Whevever I'm done with an e-mail, acting on its needs, I put it there. I get between 1100 and 1500 pieces of e-mail a day between the shows and the work I do for AOL (I'm the guy you hear on their tech support lines when you call them). I have maybe 50 folders that I have stuff routed into, and maybe 60 or so Mail Actions. At the end of the month, I peel off another Emailer Archive (the FMPro version from Crevier), put it in a new folder, and export the stuff in the Export folder. I then delete the mail out of the export folder, then quit the program, and rebuild. I usually end up exporting 12,000 or so e-mails (a lot of what I get gets deleted fairly quickly), and I do it in chunks of 2000 or so. That has worked for me fairly flawlessly for about 4 years now. On the rare occasion when I need an older e-mail, I can easily import it back into Emailer with the Applescripts provided in the Crevier archive. And, of course, Retrospect is run every 8 hours onto my SnapServers and tape drives. I've been through enough devastating crashes and corruptions to have a sense of how bulletproof Emailer is. This works for me - YMMV. David ..............................................
