Hi, Digest mode lurker here I've been using PowerMail for years and thus have a large database.
Am I correct to think if I hold down the four keys and hit option during start up causing a rebuild, I've created "old" files I can then store elsewhere that contain everything that's in my current PowerMail vault? My plan then is to move the results to another area completely, like a DVD (I am aware that DVDs are not eternal). If I immediately open PowerMail's folders and select and send to trash (or delete message immediately) the files I've got stored, am I correct that I'll end up only with "current files" (those that I've not deleted) in the database. In the future, if I want to access the old files I've stored on the DVD, all I need to do is to move them into the "current PowerMail folder" (moving out the "then-current" files) and then be able to access the information. This is the solution I've envisioned to reduce the size of the storage files I've created. I wish to continue to be able to access those files in the future (many are magazine inputs that I may need to access downstream). Appreciate the advice of this august group. -- Nick Anything labeled "New" and/or "Improved" is not: the label means the price went up.
