Default Limit in the num. of emails in a single Outlook folder

2003 and 2007 with Unicode pst format support unlimited items per folder.
The max message store is 20 GB by default (controlled by a reg entry) - can
be increased.

ANSI (old pst format) is limited to 2 GB pst and no more than 64,000 items
per folder, depending on the version of outlook the pst was created in (can
be as low as 16,000 items)

items = messages, contacts etc, subfolders, published forms, hidden items.

Every folder can contain at a minimum 64K items (size doesn't matter) and
the entire data store can contain at a minimum 20GB.
