How to estimate OST size based on mailbox size

[Guest]

It is not good (For performance reasons) to have Cached Exchange Mode set up
on users who will have large OST files based on this article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011402591033.aspx

The article says a large OST file is "larger than 1 GB".

I have noticed that OST size does not equal mailbox size. In order to
determine which users need Cached Mode turned off when they get their
upgrade, I need to know how to estimate OST size based on mailbox size.

We are upgrading from Outlook XP to Outlook 2003 running on Exchange 2003.
The OST is unicode.

Thank you for posting here!

However, I notice you have posted the identical question this newsgroup.
Would you think it properly that let's focus on that post and close this
thread. I think it will be more convenient for us to reading the posts.

Thank you and Have a nice day!
