Did OE ever have the 2G ceiling on the database that Outlook did/does? Does
OE6 still? Just on Win 9x, or on all platforms?

Yes, OE has a 2 GB limit for each DBX file (all versions all operating
systems).

It's also recommended to keep the DBX files much smaller, such as under
100 MB each. The larger they get the more prone to corruption they are.

Thanks, noted.

For a friend who gets big JPGs and (ulp) videos as attachments to her email,
would there be a util to strip the attachments out of all OE's dbxes, after
she's saved_as to her documents directories? She'd like to archive text-only
received mail by six-month period in received/sent folders by date. Is this

a) feasible, or is the master dbx going to bloat in five years and detonate
her anyway?

b) better done some other way, like changing identities every year?

c) even correct? Are binary attachments (and html dupe-bodies) part of the
total?

See OEX. It will remove attachments from emails and keep the emails
separate from the attachments as well. It does a lot of other things too.

So tell your friend to delete the attachment from each e-mail after saving
it to a file. Then have your friend compact their OE databases.

Sorry. How does one delete each attachment after saving?

You can forward it to yourself and remove the attachment. Then delete
the original message.

Gee, that would make it real searchable.

Click Forward | Remove the attachment code | X Out | Do you want to
save......? | Yes | Go to Drafts and you can move the e-mail (sans
attachment) to a folder of your choice. You don't actually send the message.

This is OK if you only do it occasionally, but Steve's OEX:

really is a nice option. Check it out. You don't have to buy it just by
visiting the site.
