we have people with 10 gig pst files running fine.  Why don't you believe the
limit is 20 gig?  File corruption is more a function of where the pst is
stored and how many thunderstorms you have in our area.
I suspect your IT department "scares" users into managing their email file
sizes with stories of corruption.

Hi suejay,

there are different numbers on different websites available for the new PST
format.

Microsoft write the limit is ~20GB.

On   http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003/newfeatures.htm

you will get the information:

"Increase in maximum size of PST/OST files to a theoretical 33TB;
administrator can control size with a policy. New file format also supports
Unicode; see:"

On this german website of an "Ex-MVP for Outlook, (Mr. Folke Kieseler) you
get the number:
4.294.967.295 MB (ca. 3,9 TB)
http://www.outlook-net.de/OL2003/start2003.htm

We create a PST file with 450 GB and share this with several users, so 20GB
is definily not the limit.

The 20GB size limit is just a default configuration for PST
file,which,Microsoft states,is a optimal value for the maximum PST size.Of
course you can change this value to what you want,but note you're coming up
against the performance problems as the PST file grows up.
