is there any reason , after importing an ansi pst file, that it would
convert it to the old ansi format ? Brian Tillman wrote: wrote: thanks for the reply, how do i tell if a pst is unicode or ansi ? In Outlook, right-click its root in the Folder List view and choose Properties. CLick Advanced. If the Format field contains "97-2002", it's the old format. It not, it's the new. -- Brian Tillman |

UNICODE PST ?
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. |

ill try your suggestion on converting the old pst to the new rather
than importing. im suspicious that the importing may have changed it - i dont know all i know is if i click on the new pst it shows 97-2002 just like the old ones did. maybe when i created the new email profile it defaulted to outlook.pst and i just clicked ok. not sure what i did wrong-but ill try your method of copyijng and pasting and then just get rid of the old one. |

thanx for your help, it worked. they now have the new and improved pst
file. cant believe that m$ thought that a business could run on a 2 gb limit file till 2003. as i sit here watching the light on my harddrive go solid red with activity and the cpu that used to be big enough for a mainframe computer goto 100% just sitting here, im glad that soon ill be able to retire from this. let me know if anyone wants an interupt driven terminal emulation program written in assembler 1.1 thanx again Brian Tillman wrote: wrote: 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. When you create a new mail profile, unless you specifcally add a pointer to a data file, I don't think Outlook goes out looking for one. At any rate, if you want to convert an ANSI PST to a Unicode one, see this: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...f?dmode=source -- Brian Tillman |

the 2gh limit went away long before 2003. fat32 supported more than
that. win95b came out in 95 !! however, i will say that ive never ran into this before, most folks dont have a 2gb pst file. this was a recuiter that saves a lot of resume attachments. |
