This is embarassing: 10 years with Exchange, and I've never heard of Large
Table Support. Worse, I can't find it anywhere. Nikki's directions got me
nowhere. I drilled through all the menus and the Help -- nothing. I googled,
and the only substantial stuff on LTS was for Outlook 97.
Can anybody extend a helping hand to the hapless?
Outlook 2002, & 2003. Exchange 2003.

This is PST/OST info: Server info is dependent on OST with Cache mode etc.
as it applies to the client.
ANSI: File Size: 2GB max (reads about 1.92GB in Explorer)
Large Table Support not Enabled (Default)
* 16,000 folders
* 16,000 items per folder
Large Table Support Enabled
* 65,000 folders
* 65,000 items per folder
To enable Large Table support, right click on Personal Folders and select
properties. Select Advanced. Check the box to enable large table support
and select OK until you return to the main window.
ANSI: Legacy PST (Outlook 97 - 2002)
* 2GB max file size
* 16,000/65,000 items per folder
* 16,000/65,000 folders per folder
Unicode: PST (Outlook 2003 Only/Not backward compatible)
* 20GB max file size (default limit but can go higher - NOTE: limited by
drive format; FAT16 is limited to 2 GB for a single file, FAT32 is limited
to 4GB for a single file)
* Be very careful how you sell the new file size limit. You must keep in
mind that FAT32 has a single file size limit of 4GB - 2 Bytes. So if you are
running Windows 2000/XP on a FAT32 partition, the unicode PST can't grow
beyond the single file size limit of FAT32 no matter what Outlook 2003 can
do.
* Unknown items per folder (rumor has it at 130 million)
* Unknown folders per folder (more than any mere mortal deserves)
* Unicode format will support all known character formats
Requirements for Unicode format PST:
* Users must have Exchange 2000 or later accounts
* Outlook also checks the formats - Unicode or ANSI - of users Offline Store
(OST) files and the default archive files.
* Outlook checks the format of users' PST files that are used as a delivery
location (if any).

This is from using PST's. I have a folder that refuses to accept another
message. Total messages in folder are 65535. I can duplicate this over and
over on Different systems.

Can you explain a little more about the following (is this documented
somewhere?):
"I know that we have issues with outlook 2003 and PST's at about the 65K
range as they use a 16 bit word as a counter/pointer so you'll cap out at
65535".

Well I have several top level folders with 45000+ in them (e2k3). Yes
performance sucks but it works, we only resort to it for folders that you go
into once a month or so.

I have 29,000 emails in my Sent Items. Why? Because I can. Is it slow?
Sure, but it still works just fine.

Subject: RE: Limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox?
Not that I don't believe you from empirical evidence, but I would appreciate
any link to Microsoft's info on this. We have had numerous discussions with
people here at the office and it always comes down to "show me the money".
I have looked for quite a while, and I am sure I am not using the proper
search terms, but this link would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The limit is just over 16,000, in any one folder, I believe, however
it's a generally accepted guideline that you should keep it under
1,000 items in any folder because Outlook will take an increasingly
long time to render the view of the folder as the number increases.
Simply create some other folders and sort messages into them if they
can't be deleted.

Subject: Limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox?
Is there a limit on number of emails in Outlook Inbox?
A user had 6800 emails in the Inbox. I told user to get it to under
1000 or some Outlook functions might fail.
Does Microsoft provide guidelines on this?

Orin
