Re: Max. Size Outlook file / split into various accounts?

DL, thanks for your help!
- I hope I created it with Outlook 2003, but where can I find out if I
created it with OL2003 (I'm not sure anymore...)?
- and if I would have transfered data from OutlookXP -which I remember
having used earlier on- can I somehow go around earlier/lower size limits if
there are any?

Assuming you are using the Outlook default unicode format for the data file
(ie a data file created with OL2003 and not from a previous version upgrade)
then the size limitation is +20gb
You could use the archive options to reduce the size

I hope you can help me... here a couple of questions (Outlook 2003):

1) my Outlook is now quite large (the .pst is 2,180,433 KB) and I store
all
my mails in it (in lots of folders and subfolders): is there a max. size
and
beyond which it will stop working properly?

2) if yes:

a) could I split the the file into different accounts, so that I could
have
one open for 'customers' another one for 'suppliers' and a third one for
'personal'?

b) what else would be recommendable while taking into account that I would
like to have the info (mails, some with attachments) always available?

I'm using Outlook 2003 and Windows XP.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
