On Wed, 3 Jul 91 17:49:50 -0700, I babbled: > I went on vacation for two weeks and when I came back on > Momday my mailbox had 1500 mail messages in it. ^^^^^^ Of course this is short for Mother's Day :-) > This caused all sorts of > problems with buffer sizes and memory exhaustion. I had to manually edit > INBOX.CRASH to get it down to a manageable size. Right after I sent this message I tried to expunge the 100 or so deleted message from my INBOX and I got "memory exhausted" again. The Emacs process was only chewing up about 18MB of memory, and I had loads of swap space free. Any idea why this would happen? James
