Outlook 2002 2.0 GB Limit

I have been battling this issue for a while now. A client of mine gets large
..pdf files in via Outlook 2002 and they have to save them for security
reasons. The .pst file for Outlook 2002 gets up to the 2.0 GB limit really
quickly so we are always fighting this and she has to spend a day or so every
so often transferring and saving files to her hard drive, which is a waste of
time and money. I have tried the patch to correct this 2.0 GB limit but
nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions to overcome this issue? Even
another email program or anything to prevent this from happeneing every few
months. It makes me look like an idiot. I have put one of the machines on
Outlook Express whihc does not have the 2.0 GB limit but this machine is not
one I can do that to becuase they use other functions of Outlook 2002.

OL 2003 & 2007 format pst's do not have this limit
There are plugins / third party tools available that automatically
strip/move attachements to other locations, and in doing so add a link to
the new location in the origonal msg
Doubtless someone will post links

Maybe the Outlook add-inn mailtofile is a solution for this. Every
email and attachments can be saved as a file in a directory. If wanted
you can remove it from outlook (I guess you will) immediately. This
cleans up your outlook directly after sending the email, or after
handling the incoming mail.
