Dear All:

I'm still trying to find a way to bring multiple *.pst to the
folder list. I have about 20 pst folders created in OL 2000
since there was the 2 gig limit. Some are merely archives
of emails created over the years ( OL 97 OL 2000 ) etc.

I 've tried to open them and bring to the folders list. However
I get a out of memory and resources error message. The machine
is a 2.4 gig mhz dual cpu and 2 gig of ram , 500 gig raid hard disk.

I've now got several key files, ( business A , business B etc) that
are open but it is a real PITA to continue to remove the pst folders
to make room for other active ones.

Anyone have some other suggestions??

Best Regards
John A Hansen

You may not like it, but perhaps upgrade OL to 2003 ?

Dear Sir:

Sorry.. I should have been more explicit.

I did upgrade to OL 2003 ( 20 gig limit ??) and now have the problem.

I did not have the problem in OL 2000!!!

Then why not merge some (all?) of those extra PSTs (a few at a time,
obviously) into a single PST and take advantage of the larger size OL 2003
allows? It sounds like you're running out of some in-memory Windows data
structure or internal Outlook data structure and it's very possible that by
using Unicode PSTs that can grow larger you may ne abe to work around that
issue.
