RE: Mailbox capacity
Orin, It is possible to move subfolders, but you have to use the exchange client that allows directory pane movement (Outlook does not allow this).

RE: Mailbox capacity
I have two comments: 1) Never talk to that tech again... he/she has no clue. 2) Do not move stuff to personal folders... if it is worth keeping, keep it on the Exchange server. Performance will not suffer. I have a user with a 1.5GB mailbox with no performance problems.

RE: Mailbox capacity
Who is this tech, and why haven't you strung him up by his toes, carved Bill Gates Hates Netscape on his stomach with an exacto knife, and sacrificed him to the Great God Jobs yet?

RE: Mailbox capacity
The tech is wrong. Now if the 50mb consists of 2kb text messages in the Inbox folder, and you're connecting via IMAP, then yes, it's gonna poop on you. But you could still use OWA, POP3, or Outlook over VPN (or not, but let's not have those big cargo ships steering into each other) and performance will rock. Prove it to him with a laptop and a 28.8 modem. On the server side, the only thing that will suffer is it will take (obviously) longer to do your nightly maintenance and backups. Or if you want to search the store for a message. (but it'll be a heckuva lot faster than searching a store AND a PST) Tom Meunier Network Administrator State of Texas Office of Court Administration (512) 463-0282 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Orin Rehorst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Friday, August 31, 2001 09:49 AM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Mailbox capacity Subject: Mailbox capacity Two questions, please.
