Ok, admit it! You have a problem. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Ask yourself are you an email hog. You'll know you are an email hog if the phrase "oh my God" comes out of your technician's mouth when they look at your email problem. Email quota messages from your email provider are another sign that you have a problem hanging onto too much email. If you start making excuses for having too many emails then you already know you have a problem.
Cure 1(only for current Outlook users): Archive. Past 2 gb an Outlook PST goes on strike. They said they resolved this issue with 2003, but not fully. http://janetperkins.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/outlook-email-archiving/
Cure 2: Download Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/download/ Thunderbird is published by the same folks that give you Firefox. Your limit for storage in Thunderbird is 4GB per folder. So it's basically limited by how much hard drive space you have free on that drive. Did I mention Thunderbird is free? You can import Outlook, Outlook Express, CSV, TAB, TXT, and LDIF contacts into Thunderbird. You should be sold on it by now, but just in case you aren't: Thunderbird crashes way less than Outlook. Personally, I've never seen Thunderbird crash.
So email junkies or hoggies whichever you consider yourself, my Rx is above. Stay email healthy!
