I wonder whether quoting a 0 means all emails are stored for
re-retrieval, i.e. equivalent to a non-nil non-number entry as the
documentation mentions. Not a good idea, if so.
By the way, does anybody have any idea of what a good setting for this
variable may be? I have the default of 20 simply because I didn't know
about this variable. I ask now only because 20 may have been a good
setting in the mid 90s of the last century but maybe 1000 (say) could be
appropriate and effective now. I have plenty of memory and disc space
that could be used to offset the horrendous latency imposed by MS Live
servers...
