The Database File

[Marc Monaro]

Hello!

Can someone please tell me what the max size of the Database file in
Entourage 2004 is now?! The file I am speaking of is the Database file that
resides in the Users/documents/MSUserdata/Office2004Identites/MainIdentity
folder.

Thanks!

The size limit is 16 exabytes (~16 billion gigabytes). The gating factor is
the database can hold around 1 million messages total.

We keep all our mail in one huge, "shared-user" Entourage folder so we
can switch physical users (as in people) frequently and also so we
have access to each other's project-related mail. Thus, our cache is
about 20,000 e-mails.

Any idea when bad, bad things start to happen? I don't care about
slow; I'm more worried about lock-ups, freezes, and unreasonable
searches and seizures.

Thanks!
