Maximized CRM 10 Entrepreneur Database Huge

Hello, I have been using MXZ for years now and for the most part have had good experiences. I've had some bad that were not addressed but it happens.

When I send emails I usually attach PDF's and send them via Outlook from my Maximizer contacts window. I've recently sent 200 emails and tried putting the document into the "body" of the email message. I sent it as "individual emails" (instead of one email to all with "bcc") and noticed it took forever. Everything sent fine.

I backed up my database and noticed it took a long time. I then looked at the SQL database file (.mdl) and saw that it had grown from about 60 mb in size to 700,000 mb in size. I presumed this was the result of all the "individual" emails sent with the document embedded in the body of the email. I looked at each of the 200 addresses and deleted all of the pertinent emails. I then backed the database up and restored it. The backed up database is only about 65 mb in size. The restored database it still at about 700,000 mb in size. I expected it to be alot smaller (similiar to it's initial size prior to the mass email.

Any ideas as to what I can do to reduce the size of the database or, find where the emails are hidden and delete them?

Any help is appreciated..

I'm a little late on this one having registered today. We've had the same issues and found that the only way to get all the emails to be sent is to choose the bcc option. I dont know why, but that's the only way it will work for us and we're sending out a similar amount of emails. Event at less than 50, it still does the same thing.

Well late or not it's nice to see someone else actually here. Anyway, I've had no problems with sending. I'm just looking to reduce the database size to what it was and have no idea as to where the "extra bulk" is coming from.

Hopefully someone will come along with an idea or two.

Have a great day..... Pete.
