I know one limit in FMail. When a JAM area grows bigger then 0x3FF0 = 16368
messages, it messes up the last read pointer on import of new messages. I
have one such area on this point system. When it happens it shows >5000
new messages. I just have to scroll to the end of the list, and find out
what the new messages are for myself. But that's it, the JAM area doesn't
get unreadable or otherwise broken... So nothing like what Manual
experienced.

I already looked at this problem in the code, and there is no easy fix
without a rewrite of that part of the code. I might have another look when
it becomes too annoying, untill then I regard it as a cosmetic problem. ;)

Wilfred.
