Funny - Microsoft wants to encourage the use of "search folders" etc that make actual folders obsolete, yet the product (apparently) can't handle having a few thousand items in an actual folder, necessitating the use of physical folders...

I use sub folders under my inbox for older mail. Say a folder called 2007, 2006, etc. Yes, they have more than 5000 items, but I rarely hit them, so I can live with it.

I knew I saw a KB article about this before - Just need some proof before I can confront the user and advise on a archive strategy. All mails are going to the Inbox and not a sub folder. From: Jon Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 August 2008 13:02 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Outloot Limit on messages per folder What version of Outlook and is this the Inbox or a sub folder. Is this a PST, OST, or Exchange format. I know with Outlook 2003 using a PST things usually got sluggish but that depended also on the total disk space being used and whether I had upgraded to the later version of the PST or was still using the Outlook 97-2000 version of a PST.
