Default Best Parctice - splitting large PSTs

From: "Diane Poremsky [MVP]"

| I figured a splitter would be out of the question.

| No file shares you could upload it to?


Took all day.

What's worse, when I extracted data from the large PST to a newly created one I overshot
the ~4.5GB size and it became 5.05GB. I had remove email from that (sorting largest
attachment to smallest) to another. Moveed ~600MB but the file was still ~5.05GB so I had
to then compact it. That took more time.

When I was done, I had a 12+GB PST that was -- EMPTY !

I don't think that was the case with Office 97 style PST files. You moved files out, the
PST got smaller.
