Hi,
I am running Outlook 2003 and just hit the 2 gig limit, which I thought I
could exceed with Outlook 2007. But I realized I had moved this file from an
older 2002 Outlook so it was created by 2002.
So I can create a new personal folder and copy/import all the files, but how
do I make Outlook see this as the default folder for the inbox etc.

Thanks
Ted

You can use the Mail Applet in the control Panel to add a new unicode data
file and set as default
Copy - drag & drop - from old to new pst, within OL
Compact old pst when done, leave open or close, as is your wish

PS OL2003 unicode format pst has no such size limit

Ok, just to confirm before I start this 2 gig transfer....

1) I do the drag and drop within outlook like I normally do to move folders
2) Can I copy the whole pst or one folder at a time?
3) The Outlook specific folders like floow-up, inbox, etc will also copy, or
are these created when I mark this PST as the place to receive mail?
4) I am runnign Vista - the option is to make the PST the mail recieving
folder, so ia m assume this is what I do?

Thanks
