Hate to drop some bad news, but I went throught this with a customer (who had well over 2,000 between her inbox and sent messages) and the only way to do it without it freezin up the phone for an hour is a hard reset. or, like you said delete them a group at a time. Then from here on out.....delete em once or twice a week!

You would think there would be a way to do this in outlook. I have always wondered this myself. Although since i got pocketCM i have been forced to routinely delete my messages. I know who i talk to the most so i just delete the 'conversation' about every other week. sooner if pocketCM starts to lag.
