And Apple Mail keeps all the attachments as part of the email database!  So when the mail db gets to 1 gig (panther) or 2 gig (Tiger) Apple Mail breaks & can't deal with it. I had to command-click to reveal the "real mbox" inside the obvious Apple Mail mbox & drop into Thunderbird for my client to be able use their mail. TB had no problem with it. Since they get a lot of attachments, Mail was too weak and they have to use TBird now. Not that I'm saying that TBird is anything like Claris Emailer, it's not. PowerMail is *pretty close* and very capable, but I've never looked at MailSmith, (don't know why) which I guess I better look at now. I did look at GyazMail for a few weeks, and I sort of liked it, but it's still a very young program, as features go, and I couldn't live there. For people who are migrating from Emailer, I can recommend Emailchemy ($25) from wierdkid.com. It works great and is pretty fast at reading the Emailer database directly, not just running [EMAIL PROTECTED] in classic mode & getting each message via applescript.  Best,  Dave Nathanson  Mac Medix I can honesty say I haven't had this issue. I use AOL for my email and Mail autosyncs the inbox, so after a few weeks mail just disappears. Anything I want to save I just move to a folder.  Yeah, in some strange way it's not good, but it does force me to act upon any emails I need to, just because I know I can't go back a month later and read them in the inbox.   I also have it set to delete unedited downloads when the email is deleted. =
