Or upgrade to Outlook 2003, where the PST limit has been increased to >20GB

Also, the crop tool is available for download from Microsoft, FOC.

Question

Outlook has a 2 gig limit, right? Then it goes **** up. Does this limit apply to a single .pst file or the sum of of several?

Is there a better email client about that doesn't have this limit?

Ta muchly

B2Z, thanks.

Do you know of a way for Outlook to give a warning when this limit is being reached, say, within 10% of max?

Put the above file in your startup/login script and run the command below:

PSTSize.exe /G /S=1800 /M=Warning. Your PST file is nearing it's maximum size.

Cheers guys

I think I have the tools for fixing pst files.

Rik: Downloaded your file, I'll give it whirl when I get back into work. Does it work with any pst or does it have to be mailbox.pst or outlook.pst?

It works with any PST, it checks the PST files installed on the profile.
