I have a relatively small PowerMail message database (<170 MB) and less than 500 files in my Attachments folder. Unfortunately, many of the attachment files are duplicates from when I took a couple of excursions into other email programs, and re-imported messages that weren't recognized as duplicates by PowerMail. I figured I would try exporting the database, then importing into a new environment. I gave up exporting after it sat for an hour showing 25 minutes left, with the CPU on my Pismo maxed out, and the fan running (The first time EVER the fan on my Pismo kicked in!). The Dock icon, when clicked, said "Application not responding". I gave up, force quit PowerMail, and tried again, with the same results. Looks like I'll clean out the attachments manually... -- Don Zahniser Powerbook G3 (Pismo), 40GB HD (5200 RPM), 768 MB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.11
