File size limits and workarounds?
Hi All,
I've run into the 2 gig file size limit on Outlook 2000 a couple times now. Is there a way to clean the files so I can avoid this in the future? The way I fixed things is that I deleted stuff, then made a new pst file and copied all the folders over to the new file. I went from just over 2gig to 1.3 gigs. I've done this once before I think, so I know I'll hit it again. Just wondering how to avoid all this. Thanks, me |

Maybe use the Archive options?
But remember an archive has the same size limitation, so at some point you would need to create a new Archive file You could also use third party paid for tools that strip any attachments from mail and store them on a desktop folder of your choice, whilst maintaining a link in the origonal mail Finally you could upgrade to OL 2003 or OL2007 that doesnt have such a size limitation, *if* using the new unicode file format BTW the old format can baulk from 1.6gb "HeyNow" wrote in message ...

Best way to avoid them in the future is not to save them if at the end you will
delete them as you posted -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "HeyNow" wrote in message ...
