Outlook 2003 11GB!!

[Michael M]

Ok so I have a client that his folder size is 11GB that runs on Exchange
server. He claims that it crashes and has a slow response time. If anyone can
please give me a suggestion on what to tell him. He does not want to delete
any of them as he uses them for to look back as reference.

Help!! please and thank you

I suggest that he archives his e-mails. Outlook will create an
archive.pst file on his HD and move old e-mails (which he can specify
what is old - Tools Options, and search the tabs for the Archive option).

Then he can always go back into that Archive file (click the + to expand
the archive folder) and get whatever e-mails he wants.

What does one do when the Archive feature is turned off by the company?

1) Apply synchronization filters liberally to shrink the client side store
size
2) Have a very fast computer with a lot of memory

3) And the fastest, most reliable hard drive you can afford.

You might also consider trying a mail profile that doesn't use Cached Exchange mode, to see if that's less troublesome.
