Default Max PST size?


Dear Brian:

I'm running Outlook 2003 on a computer with 2 Gig Ram.

I've got 3 other *.pst files that I used before. I'm now getting a
notice of "out of resources".

Any solutions that you can think of to allow opening of other
*.pst files so messages can be stored or retrieved from those?

Best Regards
John A Hansen

So if needed you could create additional archive files and Outlook
would still work and not choke as long as each file is under the 2GB
limit?


In fact, the extra PSTs don't have to be archive PSTs, either. You can
have multiple PST active in your mail profile so that you can move things
around as you see fit. You don't need to rely on autoarchive to do the
job.

Open Windows Explorer and enter %temp% in the Address field. Click Go. Do
you have a lot of files there? If so, delete them. Select them all
(EditSelect All) and press Delete. If you get a message about a file being
open, it will be the first one in the list that remains on the screen. Use
CTRL-click to deselect it and press Delete again. COntinue until all the
files that can be deleted have been. Then open Internet Explorer and click
ToolsInternet Options and delete the temporary files using hte options
there. Next, open %Windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS and delete what you find
there. See if this helps at all.
