Thank you so much!

Browse All TopicsFor someone one who maintains a large number of emails at his fingertips - I understand the pst file size limit for Outlook is 20 gigs. I get around this by maintaining folders in Outlook Express of less than its own two gig limit - even though the total of the OE dbx files may be greater than 20 gigs. This method works well until one the dbx files reaches a limit and crashes. I am trying to find out the limits of Windows Mail- I understand that each email is a file, so I am only limited by Windows folder limits in NTFS . Can someone verify this?
Many thanks.

That is the database that Windows Mail is now using, which is also used by
Active Directory and MS Exchange.
"has been used in applications with databases in extreme cases in excess of
1 terabyte, and commonly over 50 gigabytes"
