Well sounds like I will be setting up new ID's on a daily basis. We
have at least 2 peoples db per day go bell up. Yesterday after I
posted this a user with 8.5GB db dropped dead twice. I then created a
new ID and 2 hours later (once it finished pulling the mail) dropped
dead again. That time the DB was 13GB! There has to be a reason the db
just die once they hit the magic 2GB size.
BTW the users mailbox is only 1GB on exchange, so were does entourage
find 12GB?
