Folder size limit?

I move all of my sent mail to a folder called SENT_MAIL
which is now 272,563 KB in size and Outlook Express no
longer displays the messages nor even the column names.

Is there a size limit? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance.

Size limit is 2 GB, but corruption is apt to occur before that. We usually
recommend around 100 MB maximum.

You should be able to recover the messages with DBXtract or DBXpress from
