Have new computer Vista Ultimate. At first installed Office XP and loaded my
outlook files. Have now purchased an Office 2007 upgrade and installed it. I now seem to still be stuck with a 2 gig file limit. How can I change this. Get the message maximun file size reached and it will not allow any new emails or even to delete anything. Archive also at the 2 gig file limit. Outlook 2007 should alow biger file size than 2 gig. |

The old format PST has a 2GB limit no matter which version of Outlook opens it. You'll need to convert it to the newer Unicode format if you want to exceed 2GB.

Outlook 2007 does allow a higher data file size, but only if using the
default unicode data file. Upgrading an earlier version to 2007 does not upgrade the existing data file. Within Outlook, creat a new data file in default format (FileNewData File) Copy old data to this Use the mail applet in the control Panel, or data management shortcut if you have one on the desktop, to set this new data file as the default msg store "whatever" wrote in message ...

Removed all versions of Office (uninstall) moved the old.pst file to a
different location and renamed it then reinstalled Office 2007. Did a clean setup of the email settings then imported the old pst file. Same problem 2 gig limit.

No mail applet in control panel. Tried creating a new data file but still
have the same problem. Have run scanpst to make sure the file is good and it was. Have done this many times and never had this problem. Found Google file index stopped Outlook from loading correctly. Had to remove Google file index and then started the process all over - removing office - installing office - setting up the email account - importing the old pst file and again a 2 gig limit. This is a new HP, do you know if any of the junk software HP includes could cause this problem?

... No mail applet in control panel. Yes there is. I suspect you're using Vista 64 bit. For that you must choose "Enable 32 bit Control Panel" in order to see it. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
