Got no response to the below, maybe because I sent it BEFORE I was subscribed to this list. So trying again. Is anybody out there?
---------- From: Laurie Pasion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 10:31:53 -1000 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mail Datafile Too Large Aloha, There is a 2Gb size limit on the messages datafile for Outlook Express 5.02 for the Mac. I have a user with a 1.99Gb file and he can no longer open or delete any messages. We've tried moving the messages to an archive folder on his desktop - they are copied there, but they won't delete from his mail folders. We've tried deleting both single messages and groups of messages from his 'deleted items' folder but they won't go away. Each action results in an error dialog that says "Disk Full.' He's on Mac OS 9.2. He's run Norton Disk Doctor and Optimize, and has half of his large hard drive free, so the message is bogus. Messages aren't being saved at the server, they're only on his hard drive, and there ought to be space if it weren't for the 2Gb limit. Anyone know any secrets for deleting messages when the file size is this large? I know one solution would be to create a new identity for him, but he's already done that in the past (because of this same reason) and has two identities for his mail. He's an executive, and actually does need to save this much mail. I know, I know... he should have been archiving periodically. Maybe after this he will.
