I keep more that 5 thousand emails on the suse-linux-e folder :-p
I roll over very-high-volume lists such as SuSE-Linux-E to a date-stamped, secondary mail folder every month. In the few months I've subscribed to that list, the average message volume has from 4,000 to 4,500 messages per month.
Right, same here: my archive has around 455 Mbytes, for 2003 and 2004. 2002 I moved out to CD, I think. No wonder my home directory is so big ;-)
Out of curiosity, why do you maintain your own archives? That's a lot of disk space for files that are readily available elsewhere. Easier to search? Jeff
