When I was using SimpleMail 3.3, monthly brainwipe/restores will recover about 200 to 300K on my 32 MB Card. Now, I lose up to 1 MB in about 10 days! That's unusual.
Doh! I wasn't aware of figures like that. 1MB in 10 days? Wow, there's is absolutely another problem, beside fragmentation, this I'm sure. This means 100KB on average per day. That's way too much. I'm using my MP2100 all the time, but very few email on it. I however use InkSpot daily to read about 15 newsgroups. I've never
experienced, or even got close to the numbers you mention. I would recover maybe 200K on my internal store (where all data go, except usenet messages from InkSpot) every 2 or 3 months, so you're radically off the mark, if I may say. I guess you've probably already contacted Simon about this...
