Outlook 2007 not receiving all exchange emails

[chris_huh]

I have set up my dad's outlook 2007 to connect to his work exchange
server (i think that is a 2000 exchange server). It has been able to
download almost 3000 inbox emails, and calendar info, contacts etc but
has now stopped getting any more (and hasn't received any more for
several months). It says Connected to Microsoft Exchange in the corner
and has a progress bar saying Updating Inbox, but nothing more is
downloaded. I am using a VPN to his work to connect.

Is there a limit on the amount it can download, the outlook0.ost file
is 1.50 gb, which seems too exact to just be a coincidence. Or could
it be something else?

Thanks

Has he checked with his Exchange admin at work?

I'll do that. I did think it could be a restriction put on the
exchange server itself.

Thanks
