Maximum data file size

Dear Experts

With the outlook 2003 not 2002 (limit to 2 GB) I have been experiencing this problem

Quote:
Cannot move the items C:\Documents and Settings\johnallen\local settings\applicationdata\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst has reached its maximum size.
To reduce the amount of data in the file, select some items that you no longer need and then permanently delete them by pressing SHIFT + DELETE. You could consider using the new outlook prsonal folders file (.pst) introduced with outlook
2003 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders.
Then I renamed the old profile to Outlook_OLD.pst then created a new profile called outlook.pst ,,,,,and move all folders from Outlook_OLD.pst to Outlook.pst

Then I uninstalled Office 2003 and installed office 2007.

But still I am experiencing same problem


Thanks

You'll have to compress the .PST file even after deleting files in there. To reduce it's size. I never tried PST Walker. but never hurts to try.
