I assume that you're speaking of them as a carry-over from Outlook Express 5. Why weren't they "renovated" prior to Entourage. OS 9 was released prior to Entourage which is when the limits were raised. Surely it wasn't a surprise as Apple intimated that the file system would be changing for the "better" with Apple Extended's release in the 8.x time-frame. I don't ever remember seeing a reason for the mail store being changed to a monolithic database. Surely speed can't be the issue as I can find mail as quickly in Eudora as Entourage even with tens of thousands of messages.
