PST Size Limit

Kev Cole · Joined: 28 Sep 2007 Posts: 2

Hi,

I am aware that a PST file in 97-2002 format has a size limitation of 2gb.
Is there anyway to convert to unicode to take advantage of its increased
size.

I am near my limit so getting desperate. Running OL2003 SP2.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

There is no conversion method other than creating a new UNICODE pst-file and
move the contents.
