Bigger - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982577

By default, Personal Folders (.pst) and offline Outlook Data File (.ost)
files are in Unicode format in Microsoft Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013. 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.

Depends on your version of Outlook. I think 2013 can handle 4gb and 2010 was
2gb.

I have Outlook installed but (almost) never use it, preferring the
"available anywhere" aspect of gmail. 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?
