Can Outlook 2003 Professional handle say 610,000 emails with attachments
or would it choke...???

I would have to have them all index and be able to search on ALL of them,
so archiving is out of the question.

Thought I would ask the power users...


TIA
Richard
 
All at once?
Incoming?
Outgoing?
What restrictions does your ISP/Mail server have?

Well, first this would be a import,
Then, I do average about 1600 emails a day.

Although the article (and the one referenced therein) say the user can
edit registry entries to change the max size of the .pst file, it is
still 20GB max size (the range for max size has 20GB as the upper
limit).

Even if you archive, that doesn't mean you can't see what is in the
archive. I archive but I also have the archive .pst file open in
Outlook. When I open Outlook, I see the current message store (.pst)
along with every other message store (other .pst files) that I had
opened when I was last in Outlook. However, advanced find only spans
a single message store.

If you are using Exchange as your mail server, you'll have to ask the
Exchange admin what is the maximum size they will enable for your
mailbox. Usually they just keep incrementing it when you get a
warning that you are approaching its max size.
 
Just curious.
"I" receive 1600/day, assuming a 8 hour day thats approx 3.5 mail / min

Archiving doesnt prevent you searching all mail, or having access to all
mail

20GB well thats a start.
