Hi Sequoia, Two problems with this: 1) I was wrong about the database size, as Paul pointed out, and 2) I made a distinction between removing and deleting attachments which may or may not be valid. See below.
> 1. Removing attachments is a good idea, but they won't get removed (make the > DB smaller) until DB is compacted. I'm not sure that the distinction I made between removing and deleting an attachment is valid. Could someone speak to this please: If you Remove an attachment (say, to the desktop), does the space it occupied in the database remain "occupied"? IOW, is Removing an attachment effectively the same as Deleting it, where the database is concerned? IOW, to reclaim the space previously occupied by Removing an attachment, is it necessary to do a Compact (just like if you Deleted it)? > 2. DB has a limit of 4 gigs, or 1 million objects (and objects include many > other things besides emails and attachments) DB has no size limit in terms of gigs; as for number of objects, see Paul's explanation. Sorry for the confusion.
