There's nothing in official documentation. For Outlook 2000-2003 is non-cached mode, the "magic number" has always been 10,000 items in the default top-level folders. That number has come from PSS on multiple occasions. Nothing in Outlook BREAKS after that, but the performance goes downhill drastically. Cached mode helps that some, but the local cache has limits too.
Entourage WILL stop working after 10,000 items. I have a case with PSS right now that seems to indicate that number might actually be lower for WebDAV clients... --James -----Original Message----- From: "Aaron Brasslett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: 9/13/07 7:26 AM Subject: RE: Limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox? I have 29,000 emails in my Sent Items. Why? Because I can. Is it slow? Sure, but it still works just fine. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Monaghan Posted At: Thursday, September 13, 2007 8:04 AM Posted To: Exchange Mailing List Conversation: Limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox? Subject: RE: Limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox? Not that I don't believe you from empirical evidence, but I would appreciate any link to Microsoft's info on this. We have had numerous discussions with people here at the office and it always comes down to "show me the money". I have looked for quite a while, and I am sure I am not using the proper search terms, but this link would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Felis demulcta mitis ... Alan G.
