Max PST size?
 
Does the 2 GB ANSI limit for Outlook PST apply only to the size of the
Outlook.pst file, or to the combined size of the Outlook.pst and Archive.pst
files?

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

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?

This particular user was migrated from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 simply
by copying the Outlook.pst file from the old machine to the 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 of the larger PST file support
Unicode offers?

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.

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.
