656 is not a big number.

Unread Mail is a search folder so it actually contains no items. It's a compilation of items from multiple folders.

How many items are in your Deleted Items folder?

Patrick suggested last week that you should try creating a new mail profile with a new .pst file. Have you done that?

What's the largest number of items you have in a single folder?

Sent item are the biggest by far, followed by contacts. Right now I am
using Outlook express just so I can read my email.
