I personally thing 1,000 is a little low. I've got users with 2-3k e-mails per folder and no performance issues. 8,000 is rather excessive, and obvious causing a problem.

They have about 8,000 e-mails in the Inbox; (that is way to much) How much e-mails should be in the inbox, if so I will set up mail folders for each year, but how mail should I place in each folder Thanks _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
