"New" OL PST file
My OL2007 does not download any more messages and the error message includes
this text: "You could also consider using the new Outlook Personal Folders file (.pst) introduced with OL2004 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders" I am mystified since all my OL data and archives etc. are stored in .pst files already. So why am I getting this message and what can I do to free up OL?

So why am I getting this message and what can I do to free up OL? There are two different formats for pst files - 97-2002 ANSI which is limited to 2GB (in practice 1.8 or less) and 2003 UNICODE format (which Outlook 2007 uses as well) which can be up to 20GB by default. It would appear that your pst file is in the old 97-2002 format... Your best bet would be to create a new pst file in the new format and set it as default mail delivery location. You can then either copy all the data from the old pst file, or, if there's a lot, just leave it open in Outlook.

You will then get an option of which format to choose. Choose "Office Outlook Personal Folders File". Do NOT choose "97-2002" type.
