.pst size

[T. Wise]

I've consolodated some .pst files and now have one that's 156MB. That's
larger than I've ever had, so I'm wondering if there's any sense as to how
big is too big ... is there some reason not to have a .pst file that large
.... or am I worrying about a non-existent problem?

What version of Outlook are you using? (Yes, there are file/item limitations
when it comes to *.PST files)

Outlook 2002 and earlier have a 2GB limit on PST.
Outlook 2003 is around 20GB limit.

Outlook 2003 is around 20GB limit.

Actually it's 4 TB. 20 GB is just the default limit. There are registry
settings that can be adjusted to increase that limit.

and don't forget that the format of drive will also be an influence.

Holy Zimbabwe, Batman! That's a LOT of mail.

Thanks for the addition.
