[mso] Re: outlook 2000 for 500-700 email per day

That's not right Ruth.

Under the older style PST (OL97-2002), the maximum size is 2Gb, although a more 
practical max is 1.7Gb.
With OL2003, using the new Unicode PST format, the limit is something silly 
like 20Tb!

My main PST is rarely under 300Mb and I've never suffered any serious 
corruption issues.

Regards
