I recently went through and cleared out my THIN folder. It had gotten quite fat, I had over 26,000 messages in it. And your right.. searching was a pain. Outlook would freeze for up to 6-7 minutes.

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. 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?
