I think the Netscape family has had a big, solitary
mail file + an index file going way back, and that
this may be the most common approach. (There is
another scheme, used by one of the others -- Polarbar
? Eudora ?) that does break everything down into
however many individual email files. With the
Netscape scheme, I think that the best you can do is
to keep creating new, *more specific folders*, and
parceling the mail out that way, because you can have
sub-folders and sub-sub-folders. That should allow
you to keep things to more manageable sizes. I have
some Moz mail files that have reached 100 meg. in
size, so this is something I need to do more of also.

I take it you mean to transplant them elsewhere ?
This is something I'm interested in as well. Ray or
Bob probably have some better info on this.
