let me tell the whole story, have a customer who called and reported
that he could no longer send and receive email because he was getting
an error message that the folder was too large. i found a backup as of
3/29 of the pst that had not yet grown to the maximum size. i then
created a new and improved email profile using the new and improved
outlook 2003 and imported the old pst file into the new and improved
one.
got the same error, file has grown to it's maximum etc. after outlook
re downloaded all messages (in true pop3 fashion).
the only thing i can figure is that , when i created the new email
profile, there must have been an outlook.pst file already that was in
the old format.
interestingly enough, the new and improved didnt write over it.
