MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / September 2007Pst files – max capacity
I am using Outlook 2003 and need to transfer some folders to Outlook Xp on another standalone PC. I have created a new pst file, and chose the compatible with 2002 option. What is the maximum capacity of such a file – I know it is smaller than 2003 but do not know by how much. I have a lot of email, contacts and tasks to transfer. I am planning to copy the folders from the 2003 file to to the 2002 file – is this the best way? > I am using Outlook 2003 and need to transfer some folders to Outlook > Xp on another standalone PC. > > I have created a new pst file, and chose the compatible with 2002 > option.

An ANSI (i.e., Outlook 2002-compatible) PST has a max size of about 1.8 GB > I have a lot of email, contacts and tasks to transfer.

That's the best way, yes, and if you have more data than will fit in one PST, you can create as many as you need. All versions of Outlook will handle more than one PST.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Thank you Brian. I now have discovered that it’s Outlook 2000 I need to transfer to. Is the max capacity still 1.8 Gb? > > I am using Outlook 2003 and need to transfer some folders to Outlook > > Xp on another standalone PC.

For all versions prior to Outlook 2003, yes, 1.8 GB is the max. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
