How is your named your message database file? If the name is not
Message Database, PowerMail could be confused.

Hi, when I type an adress in a new mail-window, my typing is much faster
than the display of matchning addresses (cached or from the adressbook).
When I stop typing the letters pop up and matching names are displayed
in a list - s-l-o-w-l-y...
Am I really that fast?

Hi Per,
Am I really that fast?
I also find this to be a slow process in PM. It speeds up if you
quit PM and then re-open, but it eventually slows down again. Very
frustrating.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
In the process of moving PowerMail to XCode and Intel, we discussed long
and hard the matter of maximum database size and have decided, for
technical and philosophical reasons, that the right thing to do was to
keep the 2GB limit.
First, a foreword: our strong feeling is
My mail database is currently around the 1.3 - 1.4 gig point. I compress
it monthly (when I remember to and when I have time, as it takes a long
time), but it re-grows as databases often do.
I use PowerMail for business email, and I don't delete any of it. I keep
client and project notes,
Who wants to utilize and write to and from a huge databank which
basically is mainly an archive on a minute basis (I get my mail every
few minutes). I know that bites and bytes don't get 'abused' but the
potentiality of a read or write error introduced into a calculation is
there - even if

I hope you will reconsider this decision.
Switching user environments is tiresome, and you have to remember to
update the archives whenever the database format changes.
Personally, I'd prefer it if PowerMail used separate databases for each
folder and subfolder.

About once every two to three weeks. I currently have about 230k
messages in my database, and get about 350 new emails each day.

Well, as an archivist, this affects me very little.
I am curious how many people are getting near the 2GB limit in just one
year, though. I can see that being an issue. For others, do you really

Picture a sponge: a good part of it is air - holes. Most databases keep
available disk blocks available for themselves within the database file;
they don't set them out, but when data comes in and gets deleted, it
leaves a hole. When more data comes in, if it doesn't fit within an
available hole,

Re: 2GB limit issue in 5.5?
I maintain a database that has never gone over 100 MB AFAIK, nor is it
likely to in the future. It averages 90-95 MB before compaction and 78-
85 MB after compaction. I still have over 10,000 messages in the database.
This is pretty much my situation. And I have
I do understand the notion, though, even your hard drive isn't big
enough to keep all what you do from all the years past and current on 1
drive. Well, at least not if you in graphics with big images and 3D and

additional hard
With all respect to folks (including Marlyse whose email I'm using to
reply to), archiving is a marvy solution for some, but others choose
otherwise. The notion that people should archive because I do, is
purely subjective; one of the beauties of the Mac is that we can work
the way we choose to.

I can appreciate the issues that those of you with 2GB databases are
