Shantanu, That sounds normal. It all depends on how many mails he receives each day. I run TB! with about 125,000 emails and my solutions is to not purge & Compress each box on exit. In fact I don't do this at all except for my inbox because all email goes though the inbox. Instead I P&C once a day using a scheduled event. This way closing TB! is instantaneously. -- Best regards, Gerard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Equipment - According to the rules of golf, equipment is "anything that can be thrown, broken, kicked, twisted, torn, crushed, shredded or mangled; or propelled, driven or directed, either under its own power or by means of a transfer of momentum, into underbrush, trees or other overgrown terrain; or over the edge of a natural or artificially elevated area; or below the surface of any body of water, whether moving or impounded."
