Default Limit on number of saved message in sent folder

I have been an Outlook user for a long time and run a business. It seems
that my sent folder has not saved all my messages from more than about a
month ago. It is important that I can retrieve my sent messages from many
years ago. Is this a bug or do I need to set something to keep it from
limiting how long or how many it will save?

Depending on Outlook version, which you don't mention, there may be a limit
of 16,384 or 65,536 messages in the Sent Items folder.

I believe I have Outlook 2003 and it isn't keeping even 16,000.

I think I did at one time but it has been a while. I can only find sent
messages back for about 6 weeks.

Check the date on your archive.pst and also check your views to ensure you're
not filtering.
