To clear up a point, the size of an *individual* folder sometimes is an issue; the *aggregate* size of all your mail folders together usually does not cause problems. Also, number of e-mails may be more important than the actual size in kilobytes; meaning that a folder that archives a text-only, high-traffic mail list may be more troublesome than one where you have just a few messages with humongous attachments -- even if the former is smaller than the later. I have this habit of once a year having a look at my mail folders and moving lots of old messages to "long-term archive" subfolders (usually one per year on high-traffic folders). Since those subfolders only rarely get changed (and therefore almost never have to be compacted), this speeds folder compacting a lot, too. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
