Guys, Thanks everybody responded. I'm not a guru [yet ;)] and therefore prefer to keep quite a lot of stuff (you never know). I do like John Blackman's way to present folder view "by conversation". It works fine for me in Outlook 2K as well. It also helps to clean up cause you could do it by thread. Gotta do some clean up then. Thanks again and have a good day!

I do the same as Angus but organise my folder using the Current View > By Conversation Topic in Outlook XP, which most of the time keeps each thread together.

I use an Outlook rule to store all list traffic in its' own folder. This folder is autoarchived every week and everything more than two weeks old is deleted. If I find something I want to keep I move it to a special knowledgebase folder. -----Original Message----- From: Pavlo Ignatusha [mailto:pignatusha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15 January 2003 13:46 To: Thin. Org (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] OT: how to maintain your Thin list? Hi everybody, I'm using The Thin since August last year and I simply can not underestimate the help and knowledge I've got from it. It's an awesome resource. Right now I use my corporate Outlook 2K (on W2K Pro) and I have a subfolder and a rule that puts everything from The Thin to this folder. Today I noticed that my folder size reached 38Mb and there are 10450 items in there. Moreover since a couple of month ago if I try to run Search for a message in this folder Outlook just stops responding on me. I think it's due to the size/amount of messages in the folder.=20 Can somebody give me a heads up on best practices on maintaining such a busy list. Maybe I should use other mail client, like Outlook Express? Thanks for the information Pavlo Ignatusha Systems and Network Coordinator Pembroke General Hospital Tel. (613) 732-3675 ext.6150 Fax.
