...snip.... received. Are there any mail clients for the Mac OS that store messages as individual files? If not, any suggestions on backing up mail clients in general? Thanks, Anibal Escobar
Eudora uses a separate file for each mailbox (folder) rather than one giant file for all of them. So if you can discipline your users to move items into folders you can reduce the size of the backups somewhat.
I had to actually sit down at one user's machine and create several new folders called "inbox2000", "inbox2001", "inbox2002", and "inbox2003". I then moved the mail from the one giant inbox to these extra folders. It immediately reduced the backup size by a few hundred megs. They have NEVER asked me where their older mail was and I suspect they have never looked at it.
