I didn't say per folder. I said the INBOX in APPLE MAIL (which is the application we're discussing). Subsequent folders / mailboxes can be gigantic. It's the INBOX that's critical -- it's got multiple threads writing to it, so it's most at risk for corruption. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
