Increase outlook data file to 10gb.

[Seenu]

· I am developing a shared add in application for outlook.

· The application is working with some customers properly and with
others it is slow.
We found that the systems that have maximum outlook data file size
cause the problem.

· To simulate the Scenario I need a data file with large volume (say
more than 3 GB)?
Is there any way to create the data file of that size easily?

· And below are few doubts that I want to clarify.
What is the default size limit of the outlook data files?
What happens when it reaches the maximum size?
Does outlook 2007 supports data file size more than 2 GB without
configuration?

Both OL 2003 & 2007 that have data files in the new unicode format, support
data files to 20gb, and maybe more.
Pre OL2003, or data files in old format can corrupt when over 1.6gb, or OL
may fail to start.
All above assuming *.pst data files
There is a registry option to set a max data file size.

I can only suggest, to obtain a large data file, is by importing as much
data as possible into a running OL configeration

Your PST file is oversized. Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier versions limit the size of Personal Folders (PST) file to 2GB. Whenever the PST file reaches or exceeds that limit, you will not be able to open or load it any more, or you cannot add any new data to it. This is called oversized PST file problem. More detailed information can be found at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/2gb-pst.htm

You can use Advanced Outlook Repair to solve the problem, by either converting it into Outlook 2003 format ( http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/convert-2gb-pst.htm ), or splitting it into smaller pieces ( http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/split-2gb-pst.htm )
