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.

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?

Thanks for the information
