Every time a folder starts to get unhandily big, just start another one.  I
my case I keep everything and mark the particularly interesting ones -- I'm
too lazy to get rid of the dross.  When my Van-list inbox gets to be about
10,000 messages, I clip it down to the beginning of the previous month by
transferring the older messages to another mailbox in my archives folder --
Van01, Van02, Van03 etc.

Minimal work and decent results.  I'm using Eudora -- no idea what you or
Outlook consider a "big" mailbox <g>.
