What is the maximum number of emails and size of a folder for Vista Windows Mail? I know that Outlook Express and Outlook had a limitation of 2GB per mailbox folder. However, I see that Wndows Mail treats each email as a separate eml file.

So, does WM have a size or max number of emails per folder limitation?

here is what an MVP on OE has responded:

We were told early on that it was limited to the hard drive space availble.

Then you need to consider that the database size for the backup will also
grow.

So, there is no number set in stone.

I know it doesn't give you a number, but it's in line with what I said about file system limit. Regardless of drive space, there is still a limit in the file system to number of files in a single volume.

NTFS Architecture Limits

I have doubts this would ever be an issue.
