Default Advanced Find not finding all - have to repeat find many times


"Advanced Find" in Outlook 2007 is not finding all email messages
which match the criteria. It finds between 30 and 200 and then stops.
I then have to work with those (e.g., delete them) and then click
"Find Now" again to find another batch, dozens of times!

What is wrong? How do I fix this and find all messages that match the
criteria?

My typical application is to split the entire contents of my .pst
files by date. Do do this I make a copy of the file. In one I delete
all messages older than the cutoff date (e.g., 1/1/2007), and in the
other I delete all messages younger than or equal to that date.
Outlook XP (2002) was able to find a couple of thousands all at once.
(FYI - I think my files are structured as legacy Outlook campatibilty
type, not the latest Outlook 2007 type.)

Why is Outlook 2007 not finding all files and how can it be fixed?
