Moving messages into a folder fails
I have a folder that I created. I move messages into that folder after they
have been read. Today I can no longer move messages into said folder. Is there a limit to how many messages can be placed into a folder? This is the second time this has happened. The first folder stopped accepting messages when it grew in size to 62,308K. The 2nd folder stopped accepting messages when it became 52,268K in size. Perhaps there is nothing to the folder size and they do not accept messages for another reason? JW |

Moving messages into a folder fails
Hi Jerry.
In Outlook 2000 there is a size limit for PSTs - Pesonal Folders and it is 2Gb. Starting from Outlook 2003, the PST are created in Unicode format which removes that limit. So, you may need to scan you PST file with scanpst.exe tool, which you can find in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 Don't forget to backup you current PSTs before operating on them and close Outlook prior to the process.

The first folder stopped accepting messages when it grew in size to 62,308K. The 2nd folder stopped accepting messages when it became 52,268K in size.

The size of the PST itself can me more important that the number of items each folder will hold, depending on your Outlook version, which you decded wasn't important enough to mention. -- Brian Tillman |

Moving messages into a folder fails
My Office version is 2000. The total PST file size is: 295,024K. This is
well below the 2G limit. Also, I have no trouble creating a new folder and moving read items into it. I did scan the PST file for issues using scanpst.exe but this did not correct the problem. If the folder is becoming corrupt for some reason would not the scanpst.exe file correct it? JW "Farhad Guliyev" wrote in message ... Hi Jerry.
