Email isn't a database.
Amen.
Even at home, where I own/control the whole shebang, I limit the inbox size to 250M. Get close to or exceed that size, and you won't receive email...period.
I lost a bunch of stuff early this year... I hadn't broken out previous years into year-folders. Old stuff was in earlier ones, and that was ok. I really need to do that, and I can recover up until the beginning of the years, once I figure out how to import an older t-bird file.
I'd *like* to use mdir - been thinking about it, but now that I see that t-bird has problems with it.... Maybe I should go back to kmail....
