PST File Size Limits
I would love to have anyone share their experience with PST file size. The
link to the following article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830336 states that in Outlook 2003 and 2007, the default configuration for a PST is 20 GB!!! The IT folks where I work are questioning the accuracy of the article. I will send feedback to Microsoft.com, but I'm curious to know what experience anyone can share about file corruption and/or size limits with PST's. Many thanks! |

PST File Size Limits
we have people with 10 gig pst files running fine. Why don't you believe the
limit is 20 gig? File corruption is more a function of where the pst is stored and how many thunderstorms you have in our area. I suspect your IT department "scares" users into managing their email file sizes with stories of corruption. "suejay" wrote: I would love to have anyone share their experience with PST file size.

PST File Size Limits
Hi suejay,
there are different numbers on different websites available for the new PST format. Microsoft write the limit is ~20GB. On http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003/newfeatures.htm you will get the information: "Increase in maximum size of PST/OST files to a theoretical 33TB; administrator can control size with a policy. New file format also supports Unicode; see:" On this german website of an "Ex-MVP for Outlook, (Mr. Folke Kieseler) you get the number: 4.294.967.295 MB (ca. 3,9 TB) http://www.outlook-net.de/OL2003/start2003.htm We create a PST file with 450 GB and share this with several users, so 20GB is definily not the limit. -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Extended reminder function for Outlook / Exchange: Public Reminder Addin http://www.publicshareware.com "suejay" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

PST File Size Limits
The 20GB size limit is just a default configuration for PST
file,which,Microsoft states,is a optimal value for the maximum PST size.Of course you can change this value to what you want,but note you're coming up against the performance problems as the PST file grows up.
