Thanks! One final question--are there any performance gains or other
significant reasons why migrating Outlook.pst from ANSI to Unicode would be
preferred over simply creating multiple Archive.pst files as needed to keep
ANSI Outlook.pst under the 2GB limit?

Create a new .pst file in the unicode format (file-new-outlook data
file-personal folders file) and then drag and drop items from the old to
the new. Once everything is moved over, close the old one.

After furious head scratching, Mitch Tulloch asked:

| This particular user was migrated from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003

| new one, so I'm assuming the Outlook.pst file is still ANSI. Is there
| any way to migrate the PST file to Unicode format to take advantage

|||| Hi Mitch,
||||
|||| every PST file (Outlook 97-2002) can have 2GB.
||||
|||| If you have 2 PST file (Outlook.PST and an archive.pst) every
|||| single PST file could have 2 GB.
||||
|||| Outlook.PST = 2 GB
|||| archive.pst = 2GB
||||
|||| Combined = 4 GB
