Yes, I choose to quit, and it does nothing (totally nothing's going on) for that long and quit out after that.
Today, I duplicated the files, and I named the original program to emailer2005, and put it away. I then name the new copy, emailer2006 (the app.). Then launch that, and started to delete some messages. I think I deleted a total of over 3000 messages. I estimate I still have over 7000-10000 messages left. And without even waiting for a rebuild of the database file, here's the stat: launch: 25-30 sec. quit: 30-35 sec. (using OS 9.2.2 boot) But wait, later on today, I tried launching and quitting a few times, and now I think the system must have some cache going on? Because here's the speed (remember, no rebuild yet, mail database and mail index files size are actually a bit bigger than before.): ========================= launch: 3-6 sec. quit 13-17 sec. mail database: 509.20mb mail index: 89.50mb ======================== I tried several times, all worked fine, even draft an email (such as this one), then quit. I don't know why all of a sudden it's so "fast", but I am keeping it that way.. ;) I think I will try to delete some more messages tomorrow. What the heck, email from customers are "NOT" important, right? so just delete more of them..... lol. Quite happy now, and I think I will just use the big axe and cut out more old email to delete.... I am happy again. Thanks guys. Now we all know the 101 ways to archive and backup our old email. Man, I am just so slow using any other email program to deal with the email volume I have to do everyday..... so used to this, hard to switch to anything else for now. Going to MacWorld?? I am. Hope you all try to get to go to MacWorld. Going to have lots of new stuff there. Thanks again guys.
