Can't delete any messages - 2GB limit

[jeff fisher]

In my quest to fix up our spam filters, I loaded all the companies email for the
past month into OE. Outlook 2003 wasn't able to import all of the messages and
stopped at the 2GB limit. Now I can't delete any of the messages.

Create a pst file in Outlook in Unicode format (Unicode format does NOT
have the 2GB limit), delete the old pst file and re import. In fact, do
not import - do an *export* from Outlook Express.

You're welcome. Just remember that if you want to read the emails in a
prior version of Outlook, you will need to reverse the process - ie
create two or more new pst files in 97-2002 format and copy emails to those.
