(I did not personally experience the problem, so this is second-hand 
from a coworker).  The volume of mail was upwards of 500 pieces (person 
left for a week on a business trip).  It would chug along for a while, 
and then say either "out of memory" or crash Outlook 2K.  Restart, chug 
along some more.  User in question is running Windows 98, Outlook 2000 
from Office 2000 SR-1, 128 MB RAM.  I don't expect a fix, but I figured 
I'd post something so that other people with the same problem don't feel 
alone.
