Dont know about OE, as this is an OL ng - different app, however might
suggest that you perhaps should have archived, or whatever OE calls it, as
it may be the files are simply to large to be dealt with efficiently.
You dont mention version of OL, but depending on version there is a size
limit to pst files, if exceeded can cause loss/total loss of pst.
I have to wonder what is the purpose of 13k msgs in a single file -
information overload?
Finally you should have exported from OE to OL to preserve modified dates of
msgs, import sets them all to import date - could be important.
