used to be 700 MB, 550 MB after some backups to Filemaker 6 months ago. I give 8.5 MB to Emailer, except for when transporting when I use 20 MB. I do a simple rebuild once a year, or when I have "this message have been permanently deleted" messages showing up in autolog, which ever comes first. A rebuild always help. I do think that the clue to absence of problems is that I stayed at Mac OS 8.6 until 9.04 was available. Then I also stayed at 9.1 until 9.2.2 wasw available. In my opinion Mac OS versions 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and 9.2.1 should be avoided, as they are unstable. Versions 8.1, 8.5.1, 9.1 and 9.2.2 have served me well using a wide assortment of applications, including Emailer, during they years. >To tell the truth, sometimes I look at the hundreds of folders, sub >folders, and sub-sub folders; the maze of Schedules and Accounts and >Actions and AppleScripts; the Address Book with almost 4,000 entries . . >. and I have to slap my forehead.

Powermail look like a viable native alternative. Especially since the new recent mail window, that I think is better than Emailer autolog as it keeps updating until I say I want a new log. You can only have one, but I seldom look back at old logs. I would like better search capabilities though, so if I can stand the interface, mailsmith may be better.
