I have a user who has over 47,000 items in her mailbox (almost a 1GB mailbox with a 1GB limit), with email dating back to 1999 which she claims that she needs. &nbsp;Occasionally she'll receive that popup message from her outlook task icon saying that &quot;Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Exchange server&quot; and of course her Outlook client would freeze for a moment. &nbsp;I can't think of any other way to improve her Outlook performance other than exporting the majority of her older email to a PST and then shrinking her mailbox limit to keep her size and number of items down. &nbsp;Any other suggestions that wouldn't involve using PSTs?
