I think a 10 GB database is playing with fire. Many emails I receive from my clients have large attachments. I have taken to removing the attachments from the emails. I am now moving the attachment to a Finder folder, copying the name of the file in the Finder, editing the email and pasting the name of the file into the body of the email. Entourage is supposed to live a trail of "Name_of_File Was Removed...." but it doesn't always work, and if it does, it works only for one file per message, not for multiple files. Even very large messages with attachments become very small messages once the attachment is removed. A 10 MB message with the attachment becomes 5k in size. After I removed the attachments, my database started behaving much better. Also, any backup/duplication/clone strategy you use with a 10 GB database is going to be bogged down by the large size of the database. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
