My question is:

Which is the maxim numbers of items in a mailbox?

I have an user with 65750 items,is there any problem if pass of 65535??

If you pass about 50,000 in a folder you will see performance problems. There is no problem with 65,535 items - it isn't 16 bit

I have an archive folder (in the Exchange 5.5 store) that has around 600,000 mail items that I access via Outlook 2003. The server containing the mailbox is a Celeron 2.4 Ghz with IDE drive and changing the sort order takes around 20-30 seconds. You wouldn't want such a folder to be your primary mail folder, but such folders are certainly manageable with recent hardware.

When I say 50,000 items in a folder, I actually mean 5,000
