Hi Sandi Well I don' know how important you consider your saved e-mails are but remember files can become corrupted and I have found that the larger a DBX file becomes there is a bigger risk of corruption. I also find that if I am looking for a specific e-mail if I know roughly the date received then I need only import a smaller file back into OE6 in order to find it. Hope this helps Alex --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
