So every year on the 1st, I create a new folder under "Old Mail" for the prior year, it will contain last year's received and sent email. It's nice for one week to see < 25 messages in my inbox.
This year, I've added a wrinkle - I decided to archive my Deleted folder. Just so you know, I'm not like corporate IT where they delete stuff after 6 months. I'm not worried about an audit, and every once in a while having past messages has saved me.
So, I selected all of the deleted messages and dragged it to the Deleted 2022-2014 folder. In all fairness, I was warned this might take a while.  It's been 3 hours of 20% cpu while Outlook attempts to move 15k emails.
Oops, my bad - that's 15k unread emails I'm moving. I have no actual idea how many messages are in the queue. This is running on a i7-7700 with 64GB of ram and NVMe SSDs.
Of course, Outlook has completely stalled the UI update loop, and there is zero feedback. 
Wager #1 - how much longer after 437pm EST?
Wager #2 - will it even finish?

Wager #3 - will you get completely bored and crash the machine just to stop the process?
Wager #4 - will you dig out an old machine just to have something to do?

Wager #3, not until tomorrow morning.
Wager #4, the laptop is still doing well. 64GB of ram and 8 cores keeps things moving. But I have my new laptop next to me, so all is well.
But your wager is noted.

I say it will finish after midnight!

Are you set up for IMAP? Is it copying everything around in your ISP's folders? That will take a LONG while, if so.

It's 926PM EST, and Outlook is still chugging. These days, I sleep little, so I'll probably check it in a few hours. The comment about killing it off is looking pretty good.

It will finish just in time for running the same task in 2024.

The question is - will your patience expire before then?

it's 315am here EST and I've lost patience and I'm killing it off.
Restarted and no corruption. Out of an abundance of insanity, I started moving messages a chunk at a time. It appears that anything > 1k messages per move, and Outlook just locks up. Digging further, I also found a couple of meeting notices that Outlook would just hang on.

Does that include the possibility of an auto OS update?

With Windows always, but it appears that Outlook does not take into account the randomness of users. If I can select a bazillion messages to move, deal with it.
Not to beat MS to death with this issue - it's just simple error checking. Outlook cannot handle moving large amount of messages, and there seems to be a bug if one of the messages has to do with the calendar.
meh, worked around it.

I have a shiny new i5-13600K with a Samsung 990 Pro NVMe drive in it, and DDR5 6000 RAM.
If anything takes more than 30 seconds, I'm swearing. That's how spoiled I am now. My PC is ridiculous.
As an aside, can recommend this CPU by the way. Almost all the single core performance of the flagship 13th gen i9 but 70 fewer watts so you can cool it on air. Oh and it also happens to be half the price. Multicore performance is no slouch either. It's one of intel's golden chips they come out with every once in awhile - watch out for sleeper i5s.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
