Mail box sizes and .pst archives |
|
|
Hi
If we archive old mailbox stuff to a .pst file but the user has the archive
showing in Outlook folder view (but not open) does the archive get counted
in the mailbox size?
And if not does it when the user opens the archive?
Thanks

PST well before you hit the 2 GB limit, maybe at around 1.75 or so - if
you go over the size limit, you're likely to lose data.
Outlook 2003 running in Unicode mode eliminates the size limits.
