What is the size limit of mbox files in Leopard Mail 3.0 ?

What is the file size limit of mbox files in Leopard Mail?
e.g. a main folder -- that contains no actual emails -- but contains many sub-folders each of which have an mbox file.
Each mbox file has a limit, but because the main folder has several mbox files/subfolders, it means that the size of the main folder gets very large.
Question: is there is a size limit for the main folder, even though there is no mbox file associated with the main folder (since it merely acts as a folder for subfolders)?
Question: what is the practical limit for each mbox file -- theoretical and practical? i.e. what size should we not exceed in order to avoid corruption?

I've been researching for the same answer. And technically speaking, I don't have one. In the past, I've "heard" that the mailbox size limit was something like 1GB for Mail (OS X 10.3) and then something like 2-4GB for Mail (OS X 10.4). I have searched all over the place in technical documentation and can't really get a good answer. I'm almost leaning towards believing that there is no limit, based on the fact that the database that mail is using (particularly for OS X 10.4) is BerkeleyDB 4.2.52 and that DB doesn't have a size restriction. I'm not sure if that is the only factor involved though. I've tried researching the limits for KMail, which is the mail program that runs on KDE (Linux), which is the program that Mac OS X Mail is based off of... and I can't find anything there either. Most people say, "It's a free app, so don't expect much," but I'd rather use Mac OS X Mail than most anything else. I hope that maybe someone from Apple... or someone else who can reference technical documentation can help out. Thanks!

Hi,
I hope you can send 2MB ,if your getting any error try to increase rows in your instanceconfig.xml file kindly do the below things
You need to increase the size and need to include one tag in instanceconfig.xml to increase the size and restart the presentation services.
by default delivers will send only 250 records.
take a original backup and the do it
insert the following code into instanceconfig.xml.
<Views>
<Table> <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>100000</Defau ltRowsDisplayedInDelivery>
</Table>
</Views>
restart all your services.

Oracle KM DB mode what is the size limit

Hello,
Our organization is implementing the KM and some questions arise about the size limit of the oracle database supported by the KM if we are using the full DB mode. Maybe somebody has got some benchmarks he wants to share ?
Many thanks by advance
Frédéric

Hello Venkat,
Thank you for your reply, it gives me valuable information. I have still one concern, indeed if I read this chapter I can imaging that the size of the DB can be theoretically very large. In a practical way have you some examples of very large internal repositories where performances are still OK ?
Many thanks
Best regards
Frédéric

What is the size limit for a video using VZW Messaging

I've tried a few times to send videos with VZW Messenger but every time it gets rejected for being too large. I don't see a setting anywhere and these videos aren't that big. What's the trick??
Thank you,
Ron

I may not simply be a matter of size, it may also be a matter of resolution.
In the past, I have tried to send a video which was not able to be sent because it failed to meet the size restrictions of the texting app. I tried repeatedly to shorten the video until it was not worth sending. I then lowered the resolution of the phone when taking another video to a lower resolution and was able to send the video even though the file size was larger then the size of a higher resolution video I had previously tried to send.
I believe I had to lower the resolution to 640x480 in order to send the video attached to a text. Whether or not this is still the case, I do not know as I rarely send video MMS.

What is the size limit of inbound container in Generic Synchronization?

Hello Everyone,
   I am calling a RFC function module from the back end. It is returning me 102 entries for a particulor set of input parameters when i run it there.
   But when i call it from MI Client using Generic Synchronization then it returns me 99 entries.
   Is it beacuse inbound container size limit?
   Can anybody solve this problem?
   Thanks in advance.

Hi Abhijit,
Please refer to the note 842475 for getting info about package size for inbound containers.
The maximum size a package can obtain is 5MB. However, this will not restrict data from coming on client. The remaining data will be sent in next container.
Regards,
Rahul
If this helps kindly assign me some points.

What's the size limit of a program body?

I have a package body that is about some 3500 lines
long, and it refuses to compile, claiming it's too
huge...
3500 lines isn't too unreasonable is it? Why is there
such a limit if Forms is for professional use? Is there
anything I can do besides cutting it down?

Hi,
You can activate the SIZECHECK compiler option for interactive compilations only. Once enabled, the compiler option remains active until disabled. This option is automatically disabled for batch compilations.
Enable the SIZECHECK option prior to compiling a program unit to raise an alert if the size of a program unit source is approaching an operating system limit for memory allocation. If the size of the source is close to an operating system limit, the compiled state of that source will probably be larger and may exceed the operating system limit.
The SIZECHECK option also raises an alert if the compiled state of the program unit is approaching or exceeds an operating system specific limit for memory allocation.
If the source of the program unit, or the compiled program unit exceeds an operating system-specific memory allocation limit, you may wish to break the program unit into smaller program units.
Check your operating system documentation for the memory allocation limit on your platform.
You can temporarily remove a compiler option using the DISABLE command.

What's the size limit for Bytes?

I insert a 90K image into a LONG RAW column with Bytes and found only about 25K was there and the other 65K is lost. Also I got no error in this process. Is there any limit of the size of Bytes?

Is there a size limit to embedded photos in Leopard Mail?

Whenever I paste a photo into an email using Mail, the size of the picture is reduced to a very small file. Using Entourage, the same paste embeds a photo of the size I intended.
Is there some setting to change the limit on size in Mail? or am I doing something else wrong?
thanks
Tom O'Connell

I have the same problem. I choose "original size" or "high quality" in the size window, but Mail/iPhoto still reduces the picture to a small file size to email it. (last pm from a 1 mb photo to about 90 kb).
Why does Mail reduce it despite my choosing a large file size?

What is the size limit for a servlet .java file?

I have been working on a jsp page with over 500 controls so I have getParameter() for those at least in my servlet. It is too big I think because the java file size is 40K but the class file is 25KB. Any sugguestion? Thanks,J

Yes, there is a maximum length for the URL but if you use POST with a form the parameters do not appear in the URL... They would if you'd use GET however.
Still, I guess it is just too much. And if that's a form a user would be supposed to fill out (usually they are supposed to do just that) they'd probably get tired and quit after the first 100 fields... 500 fields on one page is definately too much. I'd say try splitting it up to have about 10 fields on a page but then you'de have 50 pages to go through, which is less that good...
May I ask what the 500 fields are for? What data is the form supposed to process? There might be a more practicable way to solve this.

I was trying to send a video via iMessage over wifi, but was only allowed to send a fraction due to the size limit. Does anyone know what exactly the limit is? Thanks!!

You said: "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
YES! See the my old instructions below. What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key. Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots. This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
Ciao.
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

How do I split a voice memo into two so I can send it if it is over the size limit?

I recorded several voice memos that are over the size limit for sending them from my iPhone 5 in an e-mail. Is there a way to split them into 2 smaller files?

Is this what you're doing:
To trim the recording click the Trim Memo button. You will see a blue progress bar with a yellow handle on the left and on the right. Drag the handles to set the start and end of the clip. Press the play button to confirm it sounds ok then press the large Trim Voice Memo to finalize your cut.

Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
External drives if you need more space.
However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
Rack your brain here on it.

For best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?

Hi all,
can any one tell me..for best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?
is it <256kb or >256mb?
when i google we can store image as varbinary(max) and its limit upto 2GB..
Can anyone exlain it?
is it performance wise better..
thanx in advance..
lucky

Your question does not seem apparently meaningful. If you need to store a 5MB image in the database, you store a 5MB image, not a 200 KB image or a 200 MB image. Business needs always trumph performance.
Not surprisingly, the larger the image the more resources it takes to read and write it.
What is a meaningful question is whether you should use the FILESTREAM feature or not. The cut-off limit here is usually given as 1MB. That is, if your images typically exceeds 1MB you should use FILESTREAM and access the data through Win32
API. If your images are generally below this size, you should stick to regular T-SQL.
