I shouldn't worry about the size of it. The edb and the stm files go hand in hand with each other and are used in different ways with the stm file used for storage of native internet content (such as MIME encoded mail).

I also have a priv.stm file that is 10Gb. Why is my priv.stm file so big? I have looked online to find the answer but I am getting more confused. Does this sound right or should I be doing a defrag? How do I decrease the size of the .stm file? Should I worry about decreasing the .stm file? Any suggestions will be appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
