This is only true if you use one of the deprecated mailbox formats =20 such as mbox (unix). However, if you use the recommended mailbox =20 format, mbx, you will have no problems with large mailboxes. See http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html I have little problem with mbx files containing tens of thousands of =20 messages. -j --=20 Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/
