Here we are in the 21st century, and the TB

I just tried to move contents of a small old inbox into a backup inbox,
which would have increased the size of the backup by 30+ MB,
and I got the following warning message:
The folder Inbox.Bkup is full, and can't hold any more messages. To make room for more
messages, delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder.
So, I still cannot figure out why every other app can handle BIG_FILES,
but TB cannot.

Just to follow up on this.
I did create a local folder of greater than 4.5GB and TB had no issues to read it. You
just couldn't add more messages to the folder. As one can see from the bugzilla, this
issue is targeted for fix in TB 51. So, it will take some more time it seems before a fix
is in the released product. Probably determined to be a minor issue as not many folks
have folders that large.
Anyway, if folks feel it is a pressing issue they can always vote on the BZ.
Thanx Ed.
But nevertheless, it has been how many years since unsigned 64 bit file
sizes were creatable on Unix/Linux?
So, what's the problem with TB devs that they cannot fix this.
My belief is that the libraries and the interpretive scripts used in
building TB cannot handle > 4GB folders.
Time to start from ground zero, rather than haul so much heavy baggage
into the 21st century.
