ExMerge != Outlook. There is no "2.5 GB" limit on mailboxes in Exchange. I have several users that significantly exceed that size. There is a limit in the UI for setting a maximum mailbox size.

I attended the Microsoft Office 2003 release event in San Francisco for IT professionals and Microsoft stated that the new Unicode file format would support 4gb, then a few months back I read a Microsoft Knowledge base article that states it supports 16 gb, I assume that this also applies to a .OST file even thought the maximum Exchange mailbox is limited to 2.5 gb on the server. In my opinion if you have that much mail and you need to archive it as I do, may I suggest creating separate PST files and name them for each year 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, Etc.. That way you can easily sort your mail by year that it was sent or received. It's extremely easy to mount a PST any time you need it. Just a thought. Peace!

Outlook 2003 can have a larger PST size than the Office XP and earlier versions. "Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 has both a different format and a larger overall size limit for the personal folders (.pst) file than the .pst files that are in the earlier versions of Microsoft Outlook" After all, I have a 2.6gig PST file for logs. But, be careful about corruption. :) S ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Phil Renouf Sent: Thu 9/8/2005 8:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Exmerge 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830336 The .pst file has a different format and folder size limit in Outlook 2003 It's my understanding that the latest version of ExMerge use the new Unicode PST format.

However, it still holds true that you risk corruption with PST files over a gig or so.

However, these mailboxes are over 2GB and I was wondering if exmerge 2003 has the same 2GB .pst file size limitation as Outlook 2000 and XP, or can it create .pst files larger than 2GB like Outlook 2003?
