Does Size Really Matter?

Good Morning.

I have a user with an obscene exchange mailbox. Their mailbox is
approaching 2Gig. I have not found any information where Entourage
states any size limits. The program crashes constantly. We've run the
db utility on the program and it fixes some issues, but when Entourage
starts to pull the exchange server messages back in it slows the
program down.

Any thoughts?

You don't state which version of Entourage. Check this page for the size
limits for the different version of Entourage.

After an advanced rebuild, Entourage has to retrieve the info from the
server and with the large database this can take a long time, but once the
process is complete, Entourage should speed up.

Why not archive some of the data and delete from the server?
