Did you read the link? - " usually recommend no more than about 2500 - 5000 messages in any of the critical path folders. The critical path folders are the Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, and Sent Item folder. Ideally, keep the Inbox, Contacts and Calendar to 1000 or less." also references "Not all servers are create equal"
I run at about 2 - 3k and , which for me is about a years worth of mail (excluding mailing lists) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Tuesday, 10 January 2006 6:00 a.m. To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E Mails per folder 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. It's ultimately going to depend on everyone's specific hardware as to where the line needs to be drawn. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B.
