Default 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

Best way to avoid them in the future is not to save them if at the end you will
delete them as you posted
