For whatever reason, I needed to modify the awk command to \'print \$6\' as the ls -lsh command puts the file size as the 6th column on the output, not the 5th. Not sure if that\'s just a typo at your end, or my end, or what\.... In any case, thanks for this tip. Not sure yet if [Mail.app](http://Mail.app "Mail.app"){rel="nofollow" target="_blank"} will be any faster, but I did cut the size of the Envelope database by approx. 30%. --- **Source:** [https://my.remarkbox.com/35ba9721-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501](https://my.remarkbox.com/35ba9721-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) **Snapshot:** 2026-05-06T09:44:18Z **Generator:** Remarkbox `763cacb`
