This is the worst thing about PowerMail for me. I've managed to carry on
using it by exporting some of my mailboxes to Apple Mail. I don't find
User Environments to be a useful workaround.

The problem is tied to the fact that PowerMail uses a single monolithic
database rather than having separate databases for each mailboxes. I
wouldn't mind if there was a 2 GB limit for individual mailboxes.

The monolithic database format is also an issue for backup programs that
work at a file level (Retrospect, Time Machine etc.) These have to back
up the entire database (rather than active or changed mailboxes) every
time they run.
