Microsoft Outlook 2003 .PST file will not grow above 2 GB


Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook, .PST files

I am running Microsoft Outlook 2003 and my .PST file does not grow above 2 GB. I have read the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:



I tried creating a new .PST file and converting it to a Unicode formatted .PST file. Then I migrated my old .PST file to the new Unicode .PST file and I still cannot go above 2 GB.

It is my understanding that Outlook 2003 supports Unicode file types, but, in my case, it is not working.

It's recommended that you not have PST files that large. Very large PST files tend to corrupt much easier than smaller files. I would recommend splitting the file into a couple of smaller files. It's a little more complex to manage all the smaller files, but it's much better than having to worry about loosing data.
