The older versions of Outlook had a hard limit of 16k, I don't know what the limit is now, but from a managability standpoint 20,000 is way too many. Sad to say I work with 5,000-7,000 in my inbox on my home desktop (smtp/pop3 only), the more in the inbox, the more headers to process, the more memory the system uses... you should be able to snapshot memory use via Task Manager
