Newer unicode PST files can get to roughly 18-20GB, the old ASCII encoded files were those hellbeasts with a 2GB limit that people loved to break.


I remember having to schlep broken 2GB PST files over to an at-the-time top of the line dual P3 Dell Poweredge with a SCSI RAID 0+1 array in order to get the inbox repair tool to process it before the end of the day.

In my vast experience in dealing with restoring and attempting to repair too large PST files I always recommended that users keep them under 2GB or around there anyways. Mostly because everything was being saved to a network share and Outlook 2003 would typically corrupt the PST file if any sort of network latency occurred.

One PST per year is what I always said, otherwise avoid them entirely and delete delete delete.

Has anyone encountered this?

We recently moved over to Exchange 2010, now out end users using Office 2007 have an issue when sorting by the "From" column. Once they switch the folder they're viewing and back all their mail disappear from the display until the resort the "From" column by ascending/descending.

Microsoft told us to just uninstall SP1, but I'm a little annoyed with that as it's not much of a solution.
