Re(2): 2 GB limit

I think the idea of one file per folder is an interesting compromise. The current single large database concept doesn't work anymore. It's bad for the power users with 2 gig of messages - but it's also very bad for people using Time Machine style backups. My Time Machine backup probably is

Re(2): 2 GB limit

I just checked - PowerMail is responsible for 90% of of the backup activity on my system. (I use TimeMachine). The problem is that if just one email comes in an hour (which always happens), the complete database gets backed up again. One database per folder would reduce the backup requirements
