That's what I do already, as I said in my previous email:

But if PowerMail didn't use a single monolithic database with a 2 GB limit, I 
wouldn't have to do this.

There is another option, which I've never found very useful. You can have 
separate databases and switch between them using "Switch User Environment" 
(from the Database submenu in the File menu). You can create a new database 
whenever your existing database gets too large, but that means you'll have to 
switch between databases whenever you want to search through your emails, and 
that's a fairly cumbersome process - you have to select the new database via a 
file dialog.
