Hello all, I Am running SM 2.0 and every time I dl mail, there is one

for more messages, delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder


This folder has 564 messages, while several other folders have 2,804,
2,758, 8,595 and 779.

What Am I missing here? The others work fine in the filter process.



I've had that happen to me before and it seemed to only be a temporary 
glitch. I restarted SM (or was it restarting the computer?) and 
everything worked fine after that.


Also, have you ever compacted that folder?

It's worth a try.

This message is only supposed to appear if the (local) folder is bigger 
than 4 GB (or would be after applying the scheduled action). In reality 
it can also be issued if getting the on-disk size of the folder fails 
for any reason.

In the spirit of lying, cheating, and stealing to get your computer to 
behave:


Create a new folder. Move the contents of the problem folder to the new 
folder. Point the filter to the new folder. Delete the old folder. 
Compact. Close and restart SM. Rename the new folder with the old name 
(the filter should automatically update).


If that doesn't work, it's not the folder's fault. ;-)

Do the messages in this folder have very large content or attachments 
i.e. video or sound files?
