Almost 1GB. I know you and all the other MVP's heart just skipped a beat!
Unfortunately, I have to reference and search items a year old. This is
all 2006 emails. I archived all previous files into a separate folder
tree.

As for my issue, I disabled the email scanning and it works better. I
know email scanning is redundant, but it's a nice safety net for all the
crooked crap the bad guys send through.

thanks



How big is Sent Items.dbx?

Email scanning is not a safety net, it's an interference which sooner or
later causes problems.

1 GB is _way_ too large. Move messages out to user created files.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail.
=================================
I won't try to defend a 1GB *.dbx file, but when I move email out to an
archive folder it's just as big. So what's the difference if I have a user
created DBX or a default folder DBX at 1GB compressed..? Or am I not
archiving things properly? Did I miss something?

thanks
