Increasing Size of PST File

[Guest]

I upgraded to Outlook 2003 and imported my contacts, e-mail accounts, etc.
Now I want to move my Netscape folders to my Personal File folder so that I
can use Outlook for all e-mail activity. During the conversion I received a
message that I had exceeded the capacity of my PST file and a second file was
created. Based on my research, the capacity of an Outlook 2003 PST file far
exceeds my current needs. However, I believe it exceeds the 2GB capacity of
previous versions of Outlook. How do I increase the size of my Outlook 2003
PST file to 20GB?

Thanks in advance ...

You'd need to create a fresh PST that uses the new format. One way to do
that is using the Control Panel's Mail applet. Choose to View/Change mail
accounts and in the dialog that lists your accounts click the "New Outlook
Data File" button. Select the new format and create the file then choose it
to be your default message store using the "Deliver new e-mail to..."
dropdown in the Email Accounts dialog. Start Outlook then copy (drag & drop)
your data items (special folders don't move well, just move the items but
other folders should be OK) from your old PST to your new one.
