Mailbox size increased after removing attachments

Doing a little clean-up on my mail, I noticed my sent mailbox was 1.23 gigs. So, I went in saved several hundred attachments and then tried to remove attachments. It would only let me remove attachments about 5 messages at a time, so I moved over 300 messages that all had attachments to a new folder. After moving them I was able to remove all the attachments at one time.
But after moving and removing attachments the size of my sent mailbox did not decrease it actually increased by over 400 megs to 1.7 gigs. And the new folder was also very large, at almost 700 megs (even after removing attachments).
Any ideas how/why this happens? and what can I do to reduce the size of that mailbox?
I have had the overflow issue before and have been trying to keep and eye on the mailbox sizes and keep them under 1 gig, but this one got by me. My only complaint is mail does not tell you the size of a mailbox in the application, if I was able to check the mailbox size right from the app it would be an easier thing to keep an eye on an everyday basis.
Any help would be great.. thanks!

For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores messages sequentially in an mbox file within the *.mbox package associated with the mailbox -- you can see the files contained in an *.mbox package by ctrl-cliking on it in the Finder and choosing Show Package Contents from the contextual menu.
When a message is removed from a mailbox in Mail 1.x, the actual message may be completely erased from the mbox file, or it may remain there just marked for deletion in one of the other supporting files within the *.mbox package. In order to reduce the mailbox size when a message is deleted from the middle, the entire mailbox would have to be rewritten to disk every time, which is clearly not practical.
When attachments are removed from a message, the attachments aren’t actually removed from anywhere. What really happens is that Mail creates a new message without the attachments and deletes the original message... and now you know what it really is that actually happens when a message buried in the middle of the mailbox is deleted...
My only complaint is mail does not tell you the size of a
mailbox in the application
Mail 1.3 sure does. The size of the selected mailbox is displayed in the status bar (View > Show Status Bar). Interestingly enough, that feature is no longer available in Mail 2.x.

  • IPA size increasing after itunes connect upload

    Hello,
    it seems that the IPA size increases after upload to the AppStore: i have an 8Mo IPA (where near 80% is Air runtime), when it's uploaded to the AppStore i get a 21Mo file to download.

    The IPA file you've made is really a zip file. The one from the app store is more of a package. If you rename your IPA to end as .zip, and uncompress that, what is the size of the app file that is inside the Payload folder? That's roughly the size the app store IPA will be.

  • Mailbox sizes increase dramatically after migration to exchange 2013

    After I migrate mailboxes from exchange 2010 mailbox to 2013, the size increases.
    For example -
    On exchange 2010 I run get-mailboxstatistics: TotalItemSize : 6.706 GB
    On exchange 2013: TotalItemSize : 9.374 GB

    Hi Anand,
    Please note that the actual space used by the mailbox database will not increase. This only refers to the attribution of space used by each individual mailbox. Actually, this happens due to the inclusion of all item properties into quota calculations, providing
    a more accurate computation of space consumed by items within their mailbox. However, you can adjust mailbox size and increase mailbox quota by 40% before moving.
    You can follow below cmdlet in order to increase "ProhibitSendQuota" value for all users that are not using the database quota defaults:
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -eq $False} |
    Where {$_.ProhibitSendQuota -ne "unlimited"} | ForEach {Set-Mailbox $_ -ProhibitSendQuota "$($($_.ProhibitSendQuota).Value.ToMB() * 1.4)MB" -WhatIf}
    You can have a look on this link to prevent the cause :

    Hope, this will be helpful for you.

  • File sizes explodes after removing hidden information

    After removing hidden content in Acrobat Pro X (Tools/remove hidden content or Tools/sanitize) the file size increases, up to 10x (2 MB -> 20 MB). Save as optimized PDF only partly reduces the problem, file is still 3-4x the initial size. Document was created with Adobe PDF writer, but this problem occurs in principle also with other PDFs. Bug? Necessary? Workaround? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Any one found a solution to this problem?
    I'm having it too, acrobat xi pro 11.0.10...
    Original file size before cropping ~27MB
    Same file saved as optimized PDF before cropping ~12MB
    Original file size after cropping ~27MB
    Same file saved as optimized PDF after cropping ~12MB
    Original file saved as some other file name after removing hidden information ~60MB
    Same file saved as optimized PDF after cropping AND after removing hidden information ~60MB

  • Index size increased after import

    hi i mentioned already the index creation problem when i am trying to create index using script after import of table.So droped the table and created table using script and index also without data,then i started to import at tablelevel with indexes=n then ia m importing data from the production database.
    The size of the 2 indexes in production is 750 and 1200 mb each in test db both index size increased around double 1200 and 1700 mb each.I used same script in both db.Why this is increased here i took the export with compress=y full database export.Why the index size increased? when i created the index with initial extent and next extent size respective 800 and 100 mb.Whether is it the reason?
    with regards
    ramya

    i gave initial 1000 and next 100 for the index size around 1.1 gb in production but here in test why this became around 1.7 gb,eventhough the pct increase is 50 it should come around 1.3 maximum.Whether it will give any performance problem

  • Why are frame sizes increasing after editing with Nik plug-ins?

    I’m using the Nik Collection of plug-ins with Aperture, and have discovered that the frame size of the resulting edits always end up larger than the original - sometimes much larger.
    The original image starts as 4592 x 3448 but after editing, the longest side of the resulting image is typically over 5000, 6000 or even 7000 pixels. 
    I recently worked on a cropped image that started at 4138 x 2759 and ended up at 7361 x 4908, after editing with a combination of Dfine, Viveza, Color Efex + Silver Efex.  If I export a version during the editing process, and then carry out futher editing, the frame size increases again.
    I’m exporting from Aperture using the TIFF - Original Size (16 bit) setting. 
    Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?  I’m concerned that the quality of the images is being compromised by the enlargement. 
    I'm using the latest set of Nik plug-ins, with Aperture 3.2.4 on a MBP running 10.6.8

    Keli
    In order to open Aperture in 32-bit mode by default you can right-click on the application icon, select "Get Info" and check the box marked "Open In 32-bit Mode" (or you can continue to run it by default in 64-bit mode and just get forced to re-open the app anytime you need to use plug-ins that can only run in 32-bit mode).
    hope this helps!

  • DB Size increase after calculation

    When I calculate my DB its size increases abnormaly. If I export all the data and import it again, the DB size shrinks to 50% of its former size. Why does that happen?Dimensions:Time (Dense)Measures (Dense)Organization (Sparse)Products(Sparse)Value Type (Sparse) VT_CHF VT_EUR FX_EURMy calc script is:(IF(VT_CHF<>0 AND VT_CHF<>#MISSING)VT_EUR = VT_CHF/MEA_DUMMY->ORG_DUMMY->PROD_DUMMY->FX_EUR;ENDIF;)

    This usually happens if you have committed access on. Your database can effectively double in size because when a block is calculated, a new block is created and then the pointer is changed from the old block to the new one. The old blocks stay in your pag file. To fix this, I changed to uncommitted access and then set a number in the commit blocks field to represent the number of blocks of redundant data that the database will retain. The higher the number, the more your database will grow, but a low number will impact on calc times if the block sizes are small.

  • I am having an issue with video file size increasing after editing in iMovie 11

    So I start off my iMovie 11 video project with a .mp4 video file of roughly 900MB.  After chopping off the beginning and ending (which is all I want to do) I have attempted finalizing and exporting using numerous options.  The problem is, each time I do this my file turns into a 3.9GB .mov file!  I don't want a huge file, I don't want a changed format file.  I simply want to cut off the beginning and ending of my movie and leave everything else the same.  Theoretically, this should make the file SMALLER since I am removing footage.  Correct?
    As  you can probably tell, I am new to all this.  But can anyone tell me how to keep my .mp4 file extension and simply delete the start and end?
    Thanks!

    The simple answer is, Don't Use iMovie.
    If you want to just trim off pieces you can do that in QuickTime X, which is already installed on your Mac. Open the movie in the QuickTime X player. Now go to the Edit Menu and choose Trim... At the bottom of the window you will see a series of thumbnail images with a yellow highlighted box around it. To cut off the beginng pull in the handle along the left hand side of the yellow box. Same is true for the end grab the yellow handle on the right side and pull it in as well. Then click the Trim button, now you've got just the piece of the video you want to save. Now go to File > Save As... set the Format to be Movie (to keep it in the same file format as it started as.
    This avoids all the transcoding/conversion that goes on when you import a video into iMovie.

  • Why does canvas size increase after shadow applied to image?

    PE5 - Why does the canvas size of my project increase every time I apply drop-down shadow to a photo layer? I can re-size the canvas with no problem, but it keeps "growing" with each time I apply the effect. Photos are not near the margin of the canvas.

    Not sure what you mean... it is a transparent 11x4 canvas and the layer above it contains an image that is 1 inch high ...other layers with the same size images are also present, but none are locked or "merged" (forgot the term used with PE) with the canvas...

    manggar77

    Hi,
    To get the size of a mailbox, we can use the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet to obtain information. In Exchange 2007, the ESM no longer exists. Where do you see the different mailbox size (15gb)? Do you mean EMC?
    In EMC, Recipient Configuration->Mailbox, right click on the user mailbox and choose
    Properties, under General tab, you can see the
    Size.

  • Increase your mailbox size - email threat

    I have been hit with an email threat - subject starts out as "Increase Your Mailbox Size", there is a link in the email.  I am guessing that this initiates when a user clicks on the link, but the link is disabled now.
    We’ve had at least a couple users click this, I have filters to prevent this particular subject from coming in. But, when this thing starts up it sends out thousands of emails. The emails go out with 200 recipients per email, the subject changes – I’ve seen these subjects –
    ATTENTION BENEFICIARY!!
    MAILBOX QUOTA FULL
    INCREASE YOUR MAILBOX SPACE
    Promotion of sum of
    Promotion sum
    Anyone else seen this? I’m still not sure that I won’t have another user that has it. It has been difficult to trace the source, seems to have come back after a computer was wiped and mailbox cleaned. Ironport av isn’t catching it incoming or outgoing.

    Greetings
    Although I have not seen this one specifically this sounds like one of the many targeted phishing attacks going around lately. Ideally we would like to catch this before the user ever see's it. If the subject title is always the same you can of course create a simple filter to drop these messages. If possible we would like to get copies so that we can work towards updating the antispam rule sets to block this type of message.
    I am including instructons on that process below.
    To send a missed spam or message incorrectly marked  as "not-spam" email to IronPort Systems for examination, there are a  number of ways to submit messages.
    Preferred: Use the Outlook plug-in or Lotus plug-in, found on the Cisco IronPort Email Security Page.
    For  customers using clients other than Microsoft Outlook, go to your email  program and follow the instructions to attach the email as an RFC-822 MIME encoded attachment. See article 472.
    (NOTE: All  submitted messages must be in the RFC 822 format and ONLY that format.   Any other formats (such as S/MIME) are currently not compatible with  the submission tool.)
    Note: Unless submitted through a  plug-in (MS Outlook, not MS Outlook Express), messages forwarded must be  RFC-822 compliant attachments. Forwards of previously forwarded  messages cannot be processed at this time.
    Send false negative (missed spam) to [email protected]
    Send false positive (mail marked as spam, but is actually ham) email and false positive marketing mail to IronPort Systems to [email protected]
    Send missed marketing mail to [email protected]
    Each message is reviewed by a team of human analysts and used to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of the product.
    Once  we receive submissions from a customer or from other sources, these  messages are passed through automated classification systems that makes  use of our latest rule set. If these messages are tagged by the new  rule-set as spam, they are classified as such. Due to a delay in  receiving samples and generating rules, many of the missed-spam messages  usually have rules published between the time they are received by our  customers and reported to us.
    There are some messages that are  part of new spam trends or new variants that are sufficiently different  or new spam strains that are not classified by automated systems.  Basically, any messages that are held for classification due to some  mitigating factors are held for human review. We attempt to get to these  messages within 2-3 hours of them being injested into the corpus.
    Note:  Although every report sent as an RFC-822 attachment to this address will be reviewed, most submissions will not receive an actual physical reply from IronPort.

  • Increase Users Voice mailbox Size

    Hi All, after I upgraded to 6.1(3) it seems that some things have defaulted in Unity. Such as time zones and mailbox sizes. I have a couple of users that cant access there mail box because its saying that its full. How can I increase how many voice mail and the size of the voice mail for users.
    I have currently changed settings in the "message store" for "warning quota, send quota, and send and recieve quota." Directly under that I have number of voice mail boxes and size however, that is greyed out. I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly.
    Please any suggestions?
    thanks,
    Mike
    Were running
    CUCM 6 business edition bundle unity 2.1

    You are on the right track, you can either change the quota globally or per user, simply specify customer settings that will override the defaults (12,13,14 Mb I belive).

  • Bug: Temp files with 0-Byte size are not removed after PDF export

    Post Author: chaplin
    CA Forum: Exporting
    When exporting to PDF through the CR-API (CRPE) the temporary files epfHHHH.tmp and ctmHHHH.tmp in the windows temporary path (with HHHH = hexadecimal number with 4 digits) are not deleted when they are 0-Byte in size - even after closing the application which called the CRPE-API. When HHHH reaches its limit (hex FFFF = dec 65535) the Crystal Reports DLLs are not able to create more PDFs - the export aborts with an error and the PDFs are 0-Byte in size.
    This behaviour was tested/reproduced with Crystal Reports 8.5, but (as many other long-term bugs) might be also exist in later releases of Crystal Reports as well as on the other SDK interfaces.
    KBase Article ID:2009412, Track ID: ADAPT00011016 and Escalation ID: 1472 describes a solution for this problem and Business Objects says that using Crxf_pdf.dll, version 8.6.0.108, dated 04/25/2002 or later solves the problem. We are using a newer one from 2003 (version 8.6.2.429) and still see this problem. It seems that 0-Byte-Files are ommitted from the deletion.
    Does anybody know a workaround or solution for this bug?

    Wendell,
    This forum is for handling issues migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle databases.
    As this is an Oracle to Oracle issue using SQL*Developer export it would be better to open a new thread in the SQL*Developer forum -
    SQL Developer
    There will be more people there who can help with this problem.
