OST question

When setting up Outlook 2k7 RPC/HTTP, and considering the users mailbox is about 2.1 GB - is there an issue with the OST file size?

I don't know what the default format for the OST is, as I recall there are two types and one of them has a limit of just over 2 GB.

(yep, I know the mailbox is too big, but one educational step at a time ;-)).
