Erm, I have about 2.5 GB of mail in my personal spool. How? By not deleting personal mail - ever. I have pretty strict filters on mailing lists (14 days for slower lists, 7 days for ones with higher traffic), but I have every email I've ever sent or received since switching to a Unix system (after my Amiga's drive crashed and Diavolo Pro wouldn't recognize the backup tapes). I use Cyrus IMAP which deals well with huge folders. I have a huge amount of available storage. None of my mail clients choke on archive directories with 10,000 emails. Given all that, I can't think of a good reason to delete anything. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
