Is there a limitation in the : size of attached files? It is not that unusual for mail systems to have a 100k limit to the size of each individual message. 100k of ASCII text is two dozen pages of single-spaced "typing". It is unusual for people to mail messages this large except when they add attachments. : : 2. My EMail area continues to grow. : I creat 'Old_Email'-areas and move the mail. : But, the old mail in the new area suddenly occures as : unread, : Of course they are unread - they just got there and have not been read since. This has no effect on the size of your email area. Mail that is not deleted is stored. Moving it simply stores it somewhere else. Do you want to -keep- this old mail or do you want to recover the storage? Options: you read your mail on-line at your ISP: Save the old mail you want to keep to a named file then dl (use the sz command) the file, check it, then delete the copy on your ISP. you read off-line via a SLIP/PPP account: Save the wanted messages to a floppy or ZIP disk rather than your hard drive, making sure you keep your total within the storage capacity of your removable media. Pro CAD on an Amiga? Unusual. Or you could simply be lost? Good luck.
