We just had a guy (who had been told before) bust 2gb. Seems outlook will
balk at new incoming if on SP1 or higher, but otherwise it just corrupts the
pst, and it cant be fixed short of using pst2gb to truncate it back under
2gb.
I will have to educate him as to the meaning of archiving, with a 2x4
maybe.

My PST has been bigger than 600mb many times. It actually went north of
700 several times.
I try to clean it out at least once a month. I try to keep it under
600mb because I can burn it to a CD for a quick backup on my laptop when
traveling. I also use a 5gb Toshiba PC-card drive for quick backups
also.
I keep everything in my PST, which is why I back it up very often.
BTW, I am running Office 2003.

Not 600Megs but 2 Gig's... And the problem wasn't fixed until Outlook
2003 I believe...

My .pst's oldest e-mail is from 11-17-97. Be very careful at
your 600Mb file size as a friend who is a Linux guru (on kernal
development team for Gentoo.org Linux) had major problems with
his .pst when it reached 600Mb. Possibly MS has fixed the root
cause of those problems but to avoid any I archive project
related mail from -IN and -OUT folders as the projects close to
keep the .pst size < 100Mb. Just wanting to err on the size of
caution....
