I heard today that if your PST file exceeds 2gb it will shut down for good and you can't access it again ever

We had one account reaching 1,9 GB and we hardly able to start Outlook - so it seems there is something about it..

Just thought it would be nice to know - ermm thanks MS

Well, only licesncing limits and restrictions that burn a hole in your pocket. ;-)

Yeah well - that's a fact with all MS products. So far we are quite happy with Exchange though.. Outlook hangs a lot less now that we are not using POP3 - but still a very resource demanding piece of software..
