Message Size in
Mulberry
To make it easier to deal with large attachments or quota issues, you
can have Mulberry display the size of each message you receive.
Showing the "Size" Column
- Decide where in your INBOX you want the "Size" column to appear.
- In your Mulberry INBOX window, right-click (Winows) or Apple-click
(Mac) the column heading next to where you want the new "Size" column
to appear.
- Choose either "Insert Column After" or "Insert Column Before",
depending on where you want the new column to appear. (Example)
- Right-click (or Apple-click) the resulting new column and choose
"Size".
- Move your mouse over the right edge of the Size column's heading
until the pointer looks like this. Then left click and drag
the column edge to the right until the column is wide enough to show
all of the Size numbers.
- If you click on the middle of any column's heading, it will sort
your mailbox contents based on that column. To return to the default
sorting, click on the "#" column.
- If necessary, use your mouse to enlarge your INBOX window, then go
to the Windows menu and chose "Save Default Window".
How to Read the Size Column
For small messages, Mulberry displays the size in bytes. For larger
messages, Mulberry abbreviates using either "K" for kilobytes or "M"
for megabytes. For example:
- 2714 - 2714 bytes. Typical for a short text message.
- 68K - 68 kilobytes. Typical for a normal message with
attachments.
- 2M - 2 megabytes. A large message. Even a few such
messages would exceed a typical mailbox quota.
Dealing with Large Messages
If you regularly receive large attachments, you may want to create a local folder and store
such messages there.
