.PST File too big

[DL]

Yr lucky the pst is still accessable, problems can occur when greater than
1.6gb.
In properties, of the pst, advanced/compact.
Have you tried archiving? though the archive pst has the same size limit -
use multiple archives -

I'll pre-warn you so you don't run into my scenario. Look at post on down
on the 25th. I archived, then compacted using outlook tool. To date, the
only way that particular user is able to access email is via OWA.

My MS Outlook .PST file has grown too big and reached the 2GB Limit.
I tried deleting some emails and removing them from the deleted items,
but the .PST file does not seem to go down in size. Is there a
compress or compact utility for MS Outlook or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for all you help

Right-click your .PST file (in Outlook) select Properties | Advanced and
you should see a Compact button.

You can also run scanpst.exe to fix the file.
