Can you explain a little more about the following (is this documented somewhere?):
"I know that we have issues with outlook 2003 and PST's at about the 65K range as they use a 16 bit word as a counter/pointer so you'll cap out at 65535". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Skrotzki Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 4:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox? Well I have several top level folders with 45000+ in them (e2k3). Yes performance sucks but it works, we only resort to it for folders that you go into once a month or so.

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.
