I would emphasize "small" single file with outlook. Anyone with outlook.pst file at around 1Gb is about to loose them all. (E-mails, I mean....) I have encountered this limitation multiple times, last time was actually 2 days ago. Temporary solution was to move some older mails to and archive.pst, but what about when archive becomes 1Gb too? Bye-Bye all the e-mails.....
This ridiculous limitation got me out of outlook very fast several years ago when I lost a chunk of mail. Currently I have about 4Gb of mails and Thunderbird as Mail client. No problems there.....
