Outlook Express had a limit on mailbox size as did earlier versions of Outlook. I had a similar problem several years ago and never got the mail back. I eventually improted into Thunderbird It let the mailbox get bigger but fell short in other areas. I heard Thunderbird is a lot better now. I eventually switched platforms all together and now like my PIM
I will follow this questin because I would like to know the answer after all these years.
