Export to mbox item limit?

Doug Lerner

Is there a limit to the number of emails that can be in an mbox file
created by dragging a folder to the desktop?

I have a Sent Items folder with items dating back several years - about
34,000 items, but only the *oldest* 1740 items seem to get exported.

No, there's no limit. There might be a corrupt message messing things up.

If you have Entourage 2004, try File/Export/Archive.

Also try rebuilding your database, then drag again.
