You havent answered the question;
Version of OL Size of pst? The way forward depends on the response. "rthompson" wrote in message ... Hi And thank you for answering YES I agree that is the way to go But unfortunately that is exactly what he does not want to do What he wants is a miracle solution And that is what I cannot find But thanks for the reply and I will try to convince him Bye for now Rex "Brian Tillman" a écrit dans le message de news: ... rthompson wrote: On one of our computers, when we open Outlook it takes for ages to open This is (apparently) mainly due to the VERY large pst file (8 years of Emails with attachements etc) How large is the PST and what version of Outlook? Unfortunately he insists on having access to all of his emails once in a while even those two, three or more years old And as he is the managing director I have to accept it Has anybody got an idea? Divide the PST into multiple PSTs. Organize items in those PSTs in anty way the director is comfortable. For example, move all messages received in 2004 to a PST named "2004" and move all mesasges received in 2005 to a PST named "2005". If that ordering doesn't work, use another. Create a PST for each sender, for example, and move all messages from the same person to a PST dedicated to messages from that person. You can organize things in whatever way the director wants to work. -- Brian Tillman |

Pre OL 2003 pst has an absolute size limitation of 2gb, however probs can
occur from 1.6gb. You would likely be better off following Brians advice to split the pst into multiple pst's "rthompson" wrote in message ...
