Outlook 2007 - PST >2 GB?

Outlook 2007 - Pop3

Can outlook 2007 have mail stores (PST) greater than 2 GB? I have a friend
who keeps all for his business and is pushing the limit. I was told that
Outlook 2007 raised the limit.

Any clarification is appreciated.

20Gb + if using the new, default, pst file type of Unicode which is the
default in Outlook 2003 and later
If however you upgraded outlook from a pre 2003 version, then it maybe that
you are still using the old outlook format data file which has the size
limitation.
Within Outlook, select Personal Folders, rt click, properties>Advanced
If under format/type it states 97 - 2002 then it is the old format
