FAT32 has a limit of 2G or 4G per file, and it looks like you ran into
that. This hits Outlook harder than OE, given that while OE bloats
each mailbox with hidden attachments, Outlook does all that plus
stores all the mailboxes (and more besides) in one huge .PST

It's probably possible to come up with a worse storage model, but if
so, I hope I never have to look at it.
