Addresses and Mail actions are independant of the Mail Database. So you don't need to worry about loosing that. However, as far as the 6 years worth of data. Based on what I know from your past postings... your database is pretty badly damaged. So you have to consider this. Eventually it will fail catastophically, and you will loose everything. So do you want to keep adding to the 6 years of data that you will loose... or do you want to just bite the bullet, replace it with a new clean, good working database, and keep the old one just for archive needs. If you replace it now, you stop the flow of messages being added to a bad database. Sure, there is a bit of effort in getting everything set back up... but at least from here on out you will have a functional database. If you keep going the way you are, you will eventually be foreced to do this anyway when you database dies entirely. Only then you will loose 6 years plus everything that was added up to the point of failure (might be another year, might be tomorrow, who knows). And by ceasing to use it now, you greatly reduce the failure chances. Which means you probably have a really good chance that you can safely keep it for access when you need one of those old emails. Just my 1/50th of a buck. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
