.pst file is maxed out - HELP - screen.jpg (0/1)

[C. Davey Utter]

Apparently I have reached the maximum size of my outlook.pst file (see
attached error message). I have tried deleting items but nothing I do
seems to have any effect and I continue to get the attached error
message. Therefore the eMail part of Outlook is disabled. Anyone got
any pointers? XP Pro SP-2/Outlook 2003. Already using .pst format
for database.
Thanks,

How do I post a link, and where would it link to? Sorry to be dense.

You post a link by typing it into your message here. And it should link to some web site where you've posted the image. If you have no place to post images, then you should describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

In any case, I think the link I posted pertains to your problem.

And since you are apparently using OL2003 why not creat a new unicode
format pst, which doesnt have the same size limitation, and copy your data
across from the old format pst?

Sounds like a good idea, how would I do that?

File | New | Outlook Data FIle to create the new store. Then drag items into it.
