It only begins to have trouble after you hit two gigabytes. The big change, as Barry says, indicates something large was recently deleted--large attachments are one possibility. Entourage keeps the space when you delete things and reuses it; compacting eliminates all the unused space. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
