Hi.
I recall being told that if the email account file exceeds 2Gb then corruption can occur.
Now I am not sure if this was for Outlook Express or Msoft Outlook. I am Msoft Outlook 2010.


I think it was express:-
When any of Outlook Express files (e.g. inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx, Outbox.dbx, etc.) overrides the 2GB storage limit, then you cannot work with the corresponding folder anymore.


I see my inbox is from now back to June 2015 but then it exists in a set of folders I made such as Inbox 2015_Month_07 - 09 and Inbox 2014_Month_03 - 06 to name just two.
These are under one of my two account names (the demon one), and hold emails for both accounts.


I have a blueyonder and also a demon (now namesco) account (though I never changed the account name so it still has demon in it) both bring in emails and all get displayed together in the inbox panel.


I havent taken the inbox emails, dead wooded them and drag dropped them to such a 'quarterly ' folder since 2015.


I also have named folders for a certain thread of emails JoeBloggsProject for example.



I see I have one .pst file 26Gb at Users/MyName/documents/outlookFiles. I can't see any such as Inbox 2014_Month_10 - 12.pst 345,567,876 bytes


Thus whats the advantage of 'quarterly' folders if the whole lot gets taken together as one .pst file ?


As time goes on 2Gb is easily reached, to delete all and try and reduce to less than 1Gb with room for growth will mean nuking almost all my emails,which is not right, to break them up into 3 month chunks is ok if doing so doesnt see the .pst getting bigger, but if they are still all lumped together as one .pst where does that get me ?


I am experiencing an error upon receiving emails 0x800CCC1A your server does not support the connection encryption type you have specified.


namesco said Msoft doesnt like the word demon. alter account name, save the pst file, change the settings and then recreate the account. How can Msoft know my account name as the email itself is sent from my address which doesnt have demon word in it. It sounded like I might lose all emails. I reboot PC and the emails all come in, solved, but now its doing it again and reboot doesnt solve it.


I untick requires SSL in advanced settings for incoming server for the demon account name, (emails sent and received servers being namesco) as article said to try but that doesnt fix it.


in Outlook Express days I recall seeing the individual quarterly folders as a file type and backing them all up, now withOutlook its one .pst file, as mentioned so how does quartering inbox and outbox and making special named folders help ?


I need some help please.
