  1. Re:Memory Footprint on Mozilla Thunderbird Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    The data corrupts because the user unkowingly pushes outlook to the limit. Outlook gets slow and sluggish when indexing 2GB of mail. Users don't realize that and try to jump around in the PST or exit out while it's doing stuff and BAM dead data file.

  2. Re:Memory Footprint on Mozilla Thunderbird Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You mention Outlook, so I assume you had all your mail stored in PST files on the hard drive. Outlook has trouble with PST files thaty get to around 1.5 GB or so. At that size, PST access gets sluggish. There's a hard-coded limit somewhere around 2 GB that, once you reach it, will corrupt your data.

    This can be avoided by making multiple PST files.

    DOS wasn't multitasking. It was a simple kernel with a simple shell with no networking, running one program at a time with maybe a handful of TSRs monitoring in the background.
