1.87GB (which is usually referred to as the 2GB limit).

And there potentially could be problems even at 1.5 GB. While not common,

Do NOT post HTML in a non-binaries news group.

Theoretically, Outlook 2003 unicode format .pst files can grow to 32 TB but
the practical limit (which can be changed via a registry hack) is 20 gigs.

It's not so much a 'hack' as it is a documented administrative procedure.

The .pst file has a different format and folder size limit in Outlook 2003

The key won't exist unless you add it in order to change the default settings.
