Thank you. > Although Entourage can readily handle thousands of messages, the size of the database does slow some things down. You can store the Sent Items outside of Entourage easily; just drag and drop the folder onto your Desktop, and it will create a "mailbox" file containing all the messages. Then, delete them from Entourage.
When you need to refer to them, you can just drag them back into the folder list. Or, you can create an "Archive" identity in Entourage via the Entourage->Switch Identity menu item. Open that identity and drag the mailbox file into it. Switch back to your usual identity. The messages are not part of the working database, but if you need access, just switch identities and there they are! -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
