Yes, and this is a great way to handle business email. I have a number of .pst files, one for each sector of my business. I do not use the auto archive feature. I just include my .pst storage folder in my backups. I'll never run out of room and I can search the entire lot of them in seconds. AND I rest assured that I don't get advertising based on this collection ;-) John B. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bobby Heid Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 8:14 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Outlook.pst question You can also have several PST files connected at once.

The overall size of .pst and .ost files has a preconfigured limit of 50 GB. This limit is larger than the limit for Unicode .pst and .ost files in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: The default .pst file size limit in Outlook 2007 and in Outlook 2003 is 20 GB. If you are using a computer that has Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2003 installed, and you want to access a Unicode .pst file that was created in Outlook 2010 or later, you may have to reduce the size of the .pst file if the file size is at or near 20 GB. If the file size is greater than 20 GB, you will be unable to open the .pst file.

I think 2013 can handle 4gb and 2010 was 2gb.

By now I have about 1.5 GB of email residing on the Gmail server. Can Outlook handle this much email? Is there a known size limit to a PST file? -- Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ________________________________ This communication and its attachments, if any, may contain confidential and privileged information the use of which by other persons or entities than the intended recipient is prohibited.
