Message: [QUOTE="VanguardLH, post: 4632224"] Hmm, I must've migrated the advice for OE regarding its inbox.dbx corruption when storing large number of mails in that folder but then it is a separate database file whereas Outlook's message store is just one ..pst file with records within it. It was 3AM and too late for coffee if I wanted to get a few hours of sleep. I do know in trying to help other Outlook users at their desk that having to wade through thousands of old unread e-mails (that the user is never likely to bother to read and instead will someday they will just waste a gob of time deleting them all) is like diving into a dumpster to wallow in the trash to find your lunchtime apple. Yuck. Auto-mate looks interesting but $40 for an Inbox re-filer is just too pricey for my own pocket. I couldn't tell from MissVick's post that she was using Outlook in a business where the company might fork out the cost for the plug-in. SperrySoftware's Incoming Mail Organize is $10 cheaper. However, being neat, I find the extra few seconds to cleanup with deletes or moves when I go reading my e-mails is better spent than wasting time wallowing through a mess of old mails or having to waste a morning at some point doing all the cleanup. Typically my rules have already performed a large percentage of that organization already. [/QUOTE]
