2.2GB, but it's got quite a few public mailing lists in it. Given the
falling costs of drive space and the like, I don't expire that much of
what I get, because it's nice to have full archives of a bunch of stuff.

Directly personal mail, sent or received, only comes up to around 450MB
of that, so I could theoretically junk a large proportion of the rest of
it.

Given that it costs me around AUD$10 to keep the current spool content,
and that cost drops from day to day while the average size of a message
does not increase...

...I just can't see the point in losing that history any more.
