Thanks, Brian. But when I tried to drag a folder (~174MB) into an archives
folder (1.8GB), I get a message that tells me that it cannot move item .
"Archive folder reached its maximum size." It then tells me I should
consider using the new Outlook personal folders (,pst) introduced with
Outlook 2003 that provides greater capacity.

This means that your PST was created in an earlier version of Outlook and has
a 2GB limit. You should create a new PST. Were this my problem, I'd create
the new PST and move the data in the old one to the new one. See this:
