I think I have heard of maybe 5 users who have had more serious problems with their database over the past...6 years or so, and this is probably as safe as any electronic datafile can get.
Unfortunately nobody can guarantee you that you would not be the 6th user encountering major database problems. There exists a seemingly successful shareware program to handle those rare cases of big trouble databases. There are people who use PM with accumulated mail of 2 gigabytes, which I personally think is nuts and playing with fire - no insult intended ;-) When my database gets somewhat big (between 100 and 200 mb), I usually make clean house, i.e. export all older email into a FileMaker database with "eMail Archiver", which is probably as safe as it can get for a text archive. Myself I've been using it with no database corruptions (average of 10 email accounts, 10 subscribed lists and traffic between 50 and 150 emails a day) and I trust it 99.9% - just as much as I trust any electronic datafile. ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- > As a Powermail user, > can you confirm this? > How has it affected > you, if at all.
