Re: Bat folder size question

Hello Lukas,

I actually started using TB myself because Outlook Express started behaving
increasingly strangely as I accumulated larger amounts of e-mail (300MB, 20,000
messages). I haven't had any problems with TB in that regard.

Bat folder size question

2003-04-01 Thread Lukas Louw
Hi folks,

I have a question regarding folder size limitations in Bat!

A friend who recommended Bat told me that there are no real limitations, but
I can't find anything on the Ritlabs site regarding this, or maybe I'm
looking in the wrong places.

I have been using outlook Express, and it's choking on the amount of data in
my folders. Outlook 200 does the same thing. I have come to rely on Outlook
Express as a record keeping package, and would hate to give that up by
pruning things.

2nd question, will Bat import Outlook Express 6 folders?

Thanks,
Lukas Louw

There is nothing regarding this because there's no limit. A folder
begins to slow down a bit once there more than about 12000 messages
in there, although some of my archive folders have more than 2
messages. Once a folder fills up, you can always hive off older
messages into a sub-folder. The search facilities are superb and let
you scan sub-folders in a sweep.

 I have been using outlook Express, and it's choking on the amount
 of data in my folders. Outlook 200 does the same thing. I have

I believe it will, although you may have to import them in fits and
starts - TB won't choke on holding the data but has been known to
gag on large / large quantities of OE folders.
