My folder properties shows-- Format: Personal Folders File so I
assume (dangerous I know) that this is the new format and the 2 GB barrier

Yes that should be Unicode format (the new PST format). If you want to be
absolutely sure, copy the PST to another PC. Use Outlook 2002 or older to
open it. The PST fails to open if it's in Unicode format.
