    You missed blacking out the name under archives.

      Thanks milky, we noticed that after the fact. Good eye ;) (and fixed)

    Had co-workers like this. They use Deleted folder as a “catch-all” instead of making individualized folders. Lazy and dangerous.

    i have 84,099 items in my deleted folder, doesn’t seem to slow me down :) i think it is set to auto-archive yearly (so that is just 1 year)

    @Beth563: And then when the corporate retention policy auto-deletes said items, they throw a hissy fit and expect the email admin to wave a magic wand and put it all back the way it was. *eyeroll*

      Exactly! And if you ask them if they read e-mail you sent, what? what e-mail? So unprofessional.

    I have 5018850 items in my work inbox ….I don´t see why it should be a problem.
    (Of course I use gmail and not some shitty Microsoft product)
