My profile directory is weighing in at 13 Mb

Not that diskspace matters. It's so cheap, but anyways. The size of my profile directory is now over 13 Mb. This is of course without my cache directory which I moved outside of my profile directory using the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory pref.

Bah, my mozilla profile is roughly 3GB (mostly mail, it's a pre-0.8 profile). I'm trying to make it break since years by never deleting anything. But even with several hundred thousand mails it still works. Only backup is a real pain.
