Outlook 4000 message limit for deletes
I'm trying to figure out a way to mass delete >4000 messages out of a mail box in outlook 2003. Does anyone know of a way to do this. However, I do not want to delete the entire contents of the mailbox. I only want to delete messages older than 1 week. I do have access to the exchange server (2000 enterprise) if there is another utility I can use.

Unfortunately no, outlook will not allow you to delete more than the 4000 message limit even through a filter.

So you did create the filter and you got the required messages to be displayed in your inbox ?
After that did you press CTRL + A and does it get selected ?
