I'm living with it for now, but I'll switch to a different client rather
than split my database into different environments. I tried doing this a

Why isn't there a good way to synchronize 2 databases
Mikael,
One good way to reconsolidate databases is to export each of them in
PowerMail Exchange format (one single export for all folders) and then
drag all the files from the finder to the folder list in the
consolidating database.
And then during the import, you have free time to do something (

make sure that the Powermail Files folder is one of the places you've

Christian,
This should absolutely work, and is an ever more sensible approach than
the two methods I suggested. Plus, as per your point 4), has the
advantage of fostering all sorts of fulfilling activities ;-)
Incidentally, the Intel migration's benefits really show in large
database operations,

OK, dumb question, how does one get FoxTrot to search the Powermail
database. It doesn't seem to do it for me.

I don't think I've ever said this. People are always free to work the

With all respect to folks (including Marlyse whose email I'm using to

otherwise. The notion that people "should" archive "because I do," is

I do understand the notion, though, even your hard drive isn't big
enough to keep all what you do from all the years past and current on 1
drive. Well, at least not if you in graphics with big images and 3D and
animation etc. - So things have to get archived or tossed or new,

Well, as an "archivist," this affects me very little.
I am curious how many people are getting near the 2GB limit in just one
year, though. I can see that being an issue. For others, do you really

I hope you will reconsider this decision.
Switching user environments is tiresome, and you have to remember to
update the archives whenever the database format changes.
Personally, I'd prefer it if PowerMail used separate databases for each
folder and subfolder.
I can probably continue using Pow

Who wants to utilize and write to and from a huge databank which
basically is mainly an archive on a minute basis (I get my mail every
few minutes). I know that bites and bytes don't get 'abused' but the

Ladies and Gentlemen,
In the process of moving PowerMail to XCode and Intel, we discussed long
and hard the matter of maximum database size and have decided, for
technical and philosophical reasons, that the right thing to do was to
keep the 2GB limit.
