Yeah... I don't know of any email program that happily handles 20 Gig message files. Hell... Notes can barely handle the 400 meg I have in it now. Although that's not saying much... Notes isn't on anybody's "best comparison" lists. ;^) In my experience at least Outlook isn't so affected by the size of the file but by the number of messages. File bloat due to large attachments doesn't seem to affect it as much as 10's of thousands of messages. Even then it seems to deal better with more organized loads (messages spread across multiple folders) than huge numbers of messages in a single folder.
