I have amassed on my PC quite a few Personal Folders of 600 MBytes or less
(well under the Outlook 2000 limit - I was bitten once). I just migrated to
Outlook 2003. In Tools / Options / Mail Setup / Data Files, I can't add more
than about 18 .psts to my Outlook Folders List before I get "Out of Memory or
Resources" error. Furthermore, for the .psts that I do add, after I expand a
few of them Outlook tells me, for all subsequent attempts, "Unable to expand
the folder. The set of folders could not be opened." When I close Outlook
2003 and restart it, and expand the folders in a different order, the problem
folders expand just fine, and the rest don't. Any ideas? I am running a
Dell Precision 370 with 2 GIG of RAM; Windows XP. Thanks, Dan.
 
You might want to merge a few of them together. I would think that more than
10 gets a bit unwieldly after a while. Also, do you need them all open at
the same time?
 
Thanks for your response, Vince. But if it's the total size of the files
that's causing the problem, that wouldn't help. I was hoping someone would
come up with a setting to allocate more resources to handle these problems,
since Outlook 2000 had no problems with these files on an older, smaller
machine.
 
OL2003 is better at handling larger PST files. That's why I brought it up.
