my message database is still

lifetime. Maybe that's a fairly typical user experience?
I have 700 MB since 2002 but that is after compacting the database. And I
do not get huge volumes of e-mail.
I guess what we need to understand here is people's conception of "huge
volumes". Some of us will never approach 2 GB, while others seem to be
flirting with it on almost a daily basis.
So, is a huge volume of mail:
-- more than "X" messages a day?
-- more than "Y" MB a day of email, excluding attachments (which aren't
part of the database)?
-- something else?
Clearly, an email package with strengths in one place (eg searching) and
weaknesses in other places (eg smaller database sizes) needs to be put
into the context of the expected use.
