If the question is "why is there a 2 gig limit?" my guess is that the answer lies in the compiler or codebase that ctm uses; you'd have to ask them, but a 2 gig limit was a filesize limit for Mac OS for many years, and some apps that date back to pre-OS X still have code that lingers and prevents passing that limit. If the question is "why do you keep all that email?" that becomes a personal question of how each person organizes their personal and business life, work habits, preferences, and the like. Some people keep nothing; some keep everything. I happen to be one of those who likes to keep all email as a record to go back to; I find it very useful to go back through a client conversation to remember what was said 6 months ago about some issue or topic. Not everyone would want to work this way. The thing is that there are lots of us who do, and for us, 2 gigs is a problem. For myself, my database is about 1.5 gigs, and that doesn't make me comfortable to be that close to the edge for an app that is the lifeblood of my business existence.

Most mail gateways block anything over 10 megs anyway, so that's not really an issue. And the Attachments folder (AFAIK) can get as big as it gets. If you Save as Text, that saves a file externally of PowerMail, doesn't it? The point is to have everything in one place. But, if I could set a flag to strip HTML off of messages as they come in, or something like that, that'd be great. I read all my mail in ASCII, and I prefer it that way.

I'm a simple man, my mail DB is only 254MB so I don't have the issues of some of you, but I too would like to split my mail into 2 or so DB's. The reason in incremental backups. Every time I receive a single email my DB changes and the backup I use (CrashPlan) wants to re-copy the entire DB. So my mail DB is both my largest and most frequent file to be baked up -- not a great combination. So, I'd prefer to split my mail into 2 high-level folders, one for frequent changes, one for historical or infrequently changing folders. That way the incremental backups could be smaller and faster. Everything else would work seamlessly. Well one can dream, right? :-) Anyway, I'm years away from hitting the 2GB limit and very happy with PM for now.

Feature request for ctm? I would guess that would shrink your message database substantially. 1.5 GB of plan text is a lot of text. You could re-save messages as plain text. Forward creates plain text files and preserves attachments. However, it loses links to any web images and url links, which could be a problem. - Winston >Winston, > >Mail, not attachments.

I've been using DevonThink for several years to store the ton of accumulated stuff, and their new office version has a great email importer (saves all to RTF files) and very good support for PowerMail import. Searching large database has always been DevonThink's strength and this is now 99% perfect for me. The 1% missing is that attachments will not be imported nor linked, so you need to remember to remove them manually from PowerMail Attachment folder before trashing archived messages. And yeah, there are no links in the email which tell you which file was attached (oddly enough I have seen some iCal attachments make it through). I don't know if they will add some virtual linking or such in later versions. ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- >>Since the 2 gig database limit is going to remain, I need to start >>either looking at multiple-database operation, or looking for a new >>mail client.

Most of the emails I get are plain text already (though that's changing), so stripping the html would not be a magic bullet by any means. Which is not to say I wouldn't like the feature ;-) About forwarding to myself: that would change the sender data, as well as the time and mail header data: I would lose a tremendous amount of information and gain a lot that is useless. To me, the email is a snapshot in time; me forwarding to myself defeats that purpose. But thanks for the ideas!

It still is in the forward, but not readable by PowerMail's headings. The one feature I'd really like is to be able to annotate the Subject line for those emails where the subject does not match the content. I use Forward for this, but as you point out, it has its drawbacks. - Winston >Winston, > >The hypothetical "strip html/styled text" feature would indeed be nice, >but just to give you an idea: I have somewhere in the vicinity of 100+ >nested mail folders, and well into the 100,000's of emails.

Maybe that particular feature doesn't work too well with PowerMail but the docs certainly imply that it does: See the following review by Charles Moore: http://www.applelinks.com/index.php/more/charles_moore_reviews_devonthink_professional_office_13b1/ More info: http://www.macmegasite.com/node/3301 NOTE: I neither work for nor use DevonThink.
