89,218

So, assuming the same average message size, my database should
weigh in at about 150*(89,218/40,0000) = ~334 MB, much less
than its current size of 1.9 GB.  I'll definitely try compacting
it, then.

Could it be that my DB has *never* been compacted since
I started using PowerMail?

I have dozens of folders, too, so I whipped up a script that
lists all folders and subfolders with their respective message
counts, and totals them up.

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
