On a related note, will the 2 gig limit be going away in a future version? Alternately, will we be able to use several databases simultaneously (i.e., let us split a 1.8 gig database into 3 or 4 smaller ones, but have them all open concurrently)? Can I ask a serious question? How often do people

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,

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
