I know I do. <ggg> > Eric I have seen people who are using Outlook with literally thousands of mails in their mail dir, so they would feel that is a very unreasonable limit. ;-) However, my question was not whether 2000 is a reasonable limit for the number of sent mails, it was why the new limit has to be lower than the current one. And of course I wonder why an artificial limit is imposed on the number of mails that Arachne will list to prevent it from running out of xSwap memory or whatever instead of implementing a check whether there is enough free memory for the next operation that would also make sure that Arachne does not exceed the available space and crashes without placing additional constraints. An artificial limit does not offer the user a chance to remedy the situation himself by freeing up additional memory, so it is the most user-unfriendly and thus the worst solution I can think of.
