Most e-mail setups (server and client combination) do not perform well when an e-mail account has too many messages. For example, Microsoft Outlook and other e-mail clients perform poorly if there are more than 1000 messages in the Inbox. Reducing that to 500 will increase the responsiveness of your system, and increasing past 2000 will create a system that drags.

While many mail programs have built in archiving systems, the mail is stored on your local computer and, if your local computer fails, you lose all of your e-mail.

Daily Data has an archiving system which will avoid this, while keeping your old mail available and backed up. Contact us for additional information.
