I have a total of 201,329 messages in TB (and this is after archiving messages over 6 months old). Granted, they are spread over a few accounts and a number of mailboxes. I think the largest mailbox has 32,646 messages in it. Several have > 4,000 messages. So far, I've not had any problems other than the understandable delay (due to the sheer volume of data) when reading mail or performing other activities in these mailboxes. cjle>> Guys, the only thing that really sux in TB is the IMAP/secure POP3 cjle>> support. These guys hace got to do something about this because IMAP cjle>> and secure connections are being widely used in universities and other cjle>> institutions. I agree. "Version 2" of TB (anybody know when RIT hopes to have an alpha or beta available?) is supposed to address the IMAP and POP3s issues. I wish they'd release a list of planned (but not promised) features/changes for version 2, and when they'd like it to be available for the first round of beta testing. I think the current TB pop3s shortcoming can be worked around by setting up a local stunnel installation and making TB connect to the pop3s server through it. I've started to try it but haven't finished with it yet to know if it works or not. --James ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
