Help, please: Outlook 2003 PST file full (2Gb)
Hi DL,
I don't quite understand your statement: "Unfortunately he allready has a prior thread running in another OL group." You are the one who suggested I post in another group, didn't you? I just followed your suggestion... Regardless, thanks for spending so much time with trying to help me. i did learn features I wasn't aware of. Please, see also my response to you in the other group. Thanks again, Ed "DL" wrote: Actually he's using a unicode pst, according to properties of the Personal folders ie The format shows as 'Personal folders' wheras as I understand it an ansi file would show as 'Personal Folders 97 -2002' He further stated this was a clean installation of OL2003, and not an upgrade of an earlier version or data file. Unfortunately he allready has a prior thread running in another OL group "Oliver Vukovics [Public Shareware]" wrote in message ...

Help, please: Outlook 2003 PST file full (2Gb)
Hi Ed,
in Outlook go to "File/Datafilemanagement" doubleclick on your "Personal Folders", then you normally should see the Path of the PST file (location) and the "Format" (Outlook 97 - 2002, ansi) or (Outlook 2003, unicode) Maximum size of a PST file (ansi): ~2GB Maximum size of a PST file (unicode): Microsoft write ~20GB, other sites write ~3.9TB -- Oliver Vukovics Share your Outlook PST files without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Get a web access to an Outlook PST: Public WEB PST http://www.publicshareware.com "Ed DeGani" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Hi Oliver, 1) How can I change, or tell, one from the other (Unicode PST, or not?) 2) As to the present problem, I sort of resolved it with the suggestion of someone to just go ahead and change my mail profile. Then, transfer only the mist important files (Contacts, Calander, Tasks.) Since the problem was an excessive size of "Sent" mail, the problem was resolved. I was also led to believe that if Icreate a new profile in Outlook 2003, the new one would be a Unicode PST. However, as I said above, I don't know how to tell one from the other.
