OT: humungus Tbird file

[flash flash@xxxxxxxx]

Patricia,

Might I suggest a workaround? Archive your huge Tbird file somewhere, on
CD ROM, for example, regularly (with the date in the file name). Then
delete some emails from your running version on the pc to get the file
size down. Huge files are bound to get corrupted sooner or later, and if
all the mails are in one file, you risk losing them all just because a
file header or eof delimiter or something gets buggered.

If and when you need to review old mails, rename the running version on
your pc (temporarily, of course), and copy the archived version over
just long enough to get what you need out of it.
