Thats what Microsoft claim, but in fact I've had to rescue several companies whose Outlook 2003 has run into a 2GB limit
Seems a bit hit and miss as to why, but I've a suspicion that to exceed 2GB the PST file has to be on a server, not local
With 2007 they seem to have got it sorted
My objection to transferring to OE is mainly because that program is so unstable - when you hit the 2GB limit, instead of warning or locking, it will often starting irrecoverably dumping chumps of data
It depends utterly *where* the PST file was originally created, as Outlook 2000 PSTs can be mounted on 2003/2007/2010 etc and be visually identical, but the structure differs under the skin.
You're not advised to put PSTs on any sort of remote storage, as file locking issues cause havoc with database integrity.
OE is a bag-o-sh1t3.
