(Applies to: All products) Problem: By default, the maximum size of a Unicode PST file is 20GB (or 50GB in Outlook 2010.) This means that you may fill the PST file if you have a very large mailbox.

Thanks for the info. I have Outlook 2003 on Windows 2000(!), no idea what tired version of Exchange we use. About half of mine show up as Personal Folders File (97-2002) . The rest are Personal Folders File .I amssue that that these are just alternative names for Outlook Data File', but why?

They are all PST files, but the 97-2002 files were from very old versions of Outlook and are limited to 2GB. Outlook does not automatically upgrade existing PST files to the new format, so those PST files have simply traveled along through multiple updates of Outlook on your computer.
