Default Maximum Size of Mail Folders/Files?


(Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP-2, IE-7, WM-6, classic
mode, dial-up.)

(Cross-posted since my question is on the cusp of Outlook
Express and Windows Mail.)

Several years ago (1.9.04) Steve Cochran responded to my
question about maximum dbx folder sizes to the effect that
as long as each folder was less than 100 mb one was OK.
Since that time I upgraded from Windows 2000-Pro, SP-4,
IE-6, OE-6, classic mode, dial-up to my current Vista OS.
With that came Windows Mail. I was able to transfer
successfully my hundreds of dbx folders to Windows Mail, and
I'm now wondering about similar size limitations. So my
question is:

What are the suggested upper limits, either in the number of
email messages, or in kb or mb of size, for each folder in
Windows Mail?

Thanks.
