At the very most, I might have 3,000 emails in Inbox at any one time. Of those, I delete and expunge about 1,000 every week, rotating them depending on the age of the thread. I might save to 'Saved' folder 100 of the 3,000. Every 3 -4 months I archive those 300 - 400 right out of Evolution. I don't think those numbers would ever approach 2GB. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
