![]() "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? Craig in NJ |

PS -- the problem only occurred for secondary .pdf files that are
opened at the same time in Outlook 2007. I just used the function with the primary .pdf file and that seemed fine, finding 1758 items. PS2 - The definition of when the search stops is when the magnifying glass icon stops being animated and I no longer see anything added to the list or count of found messages.

Yes, that too. I wouldn't have been able to press the "Find" button
again to find the next batch until it's able to be pressed again. It really did stop finding new items after finding just a fraction of them, forcing me to use Find a couple of dozens times before it was done.
