In subfolders perhaps but if you have that many e-mails in your Inbox I think you may have some personal performance problems. :-) I've become convinced that having thousands of items in an Inbox (or even hundreds in most cases) is a prescription for inefficiency and mistakes.
I used to be that person myself, but I decided to give one of the organizing systems a try and it really made a difference. At the moment I have 20 items in my Inbox but shortly I'll have that pared back down to the usual 2-3 items. Everything else gets dealt with, delegated, deleted, flagged and/or filed. </soapbox> Ben M.

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.
