Outlook not send/receiving when .pst over 800mb
In my old Exchange/Outlook 2003 environment, I had this problem with one
mailbox that would start to get strange when the .pst got over 800mb. This mailbox uses only POP3/SMTP. The problem is that when you do a S/R, it gives you an error indicating Outlook can't find either server. The problem is continuing now in a 2007 environment; when the .pst gets big, S/R stops working. I know that Outlook 2007 is supposed to support pst files up to 20gb (or 1tb if you mess with the registry) now that it's using unicode, but I'm still seeing this issue. Sometimes the problem won't happen until the ..pst gets well over 1gb, sometimes it happens a few hours after archiving to bring the size down. The only pattern seems to be if the pst gets over 800mb, it causes problems. Any thoughts? I can only use POP3/SMTP for this mailbox, unfortunately. |

Outlook not send/receiving when .pst over 800mb
800MB is not an Outlook limit in any way.
Have you checked the pst-file for errors already? See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/77 Also make sure you are not connecting to this pst-file via a network share since this is not supported nor recommended by Microsoft and could lead to slow performance, data corruption or even data loss. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "BramUSN" wrote in message ...
