I too worried about monolithic database problems vs the smaller and more manageable text based Eudora mailboxes. I have compacted my database a few times but only for size considerations. Like Eudora, "holes" left by deleted messages have to be dealt with. I admit that one anecdote does not a solid recommendation make so I would ask those who have databases in the 10,000 message range to comment. I tend to keep my database on the trim side of things, with only 5,000 or so messages plus the associated attachments (if any). -- Tim Lapin [EMAIL PROTECTED] G4/AGP/400 OS 10.2.6 PowerMail 4.1.3 384 MB RAM 40+10 GB HDs
