Hi,

I have around 8000 plus emails in my Outlook Express 6 Inbox and around
10000 plus in the Sent Items. I use an IBM thinkpad P4 CPU with Windows 2000
Server as the OS.

Many a times while searching mails or opening the Inbox I get an in
sufficient memory error and only 4000 or 6000 mails are displayed. Have to re
start the machine for all mails from the Inbox to be displayed.

Would like to know the following:

1) Why is this happening? Is this a hardware, software or OS error?
2) whats the solution, can outlook express handle this large size of emails
or should i migrate to MS Outlook?
3) Can i set a Message rule that all messages I send automatically get
copied to a new folder which will reduce new mails in the Very huge Sent
Items folder?

Please guide.

Kind Regards,
Akshay.
