A big issue for just about all of my clients is folder size issues. I would
love to see Microsoft develop a user friendly wizard that would analyze user
folders and make suggestions and give steps to fix issues before outlook and
outlook express crash from folders that are too large

Outlook will never crash from folders too large.

To my knowledge, there is nothing out there that does this... yet.
There is, however, a product currently in development that is being
designed to help users manage the content in Outlook.

Drop several hundred thousand items into a folder and try viewing or
sorting said folder. ;)

Why would anyone have one hundred thousand mail items outside of Outlook?
 
I meant a folder within Outlook.

If you contend that having 100K items in a folder in Outlook will crash
Outlook, how did you get those items into Outlook in the first place without
crashing it? Since Outlook 98, I believe, a folder has been able to handle
64K items with large folder support installed, and since Outlook 2003 with a
Unicode PST, there is no known limit to number of items in a folder.

I think you have a problem with logic and are making up a bogus example that
you've never tried, thinking no one will bring you to task over it. I, on the
oher hand, prefer to back my assertions up with facts. I just copied 110K
messages into a folder and guess what? No crash.
