Thanks for the info, Linda. Sorry it took so long to respond. I went to
bed right after posting my message and then went out of town yesterday and
today. Ok, what you explain about Outlook is about what I assumed but never
knew for sure. I didn't know about the magic 2gb number. I just checked
and mine is only 365 mb so I'm ok there. I've not archived any email. I
figured if I ever packed it away somewhere I'd never get it back out, lol.
Thanks again,
Pam
