In general I get about 2GBs every 3 months. Storage is not a problem, simply storing all emails and attachments in a single inbox file is! Alternative would be to store each email with its attachment in a seperate file. ***Dont want to simply strip attachment from Email as it probably will be de-linked (moved/deleted) accidently at some point*** Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.recieve more than 2gbs worth of data (can be separate emails) 2. 3. Actual Results: Simply stops downloading any new email (without warnings!) Expected Results: At very minimum, warn user and still allow user to delete email from inbox and compact (Outlook express wont let you. Once reached file limit, thats it!) Simply dealing with larger than 2GB files will fix it for now, but only be a hack at best. Require a proper fix, i.e. not storing all emails in single inbox file.

I disagree that "TB is completely ignorant about bigger than 2GB mbox" is the same as "attachments should be stored separately". About the 2GB limit: This is the third millenium. Storage is measured in terabytes. Please get TB up to speed. Thanks.
