You have to make modifications to Outlook 2003. What Travis described is the only way I could fix the issue as well. Luckily we just installed it on a few people's machines rather than a full Office 2k3 rollout. THAT would have been a complete nightmare.

IN every case that I saw it, it occurred in Outlook 2003 only. It occurred with Junk Mail.mbx only and the fix was to disable Junk Mail filtering in Outlook Tools, Options.

I've had this happen twice and both times it was a user mbx file containing client data. No Junk Email involved. The first time it consumed all of the available disk space and bad things happened. The second time, I caught it before all the space was gone and the user just lost a day's worth of client correspondence because I restored the folder to its previous day's state. The bad file is 11GB in size and defies my efforts to look at it. I don't know if it will compress. Brad Morgan IT Manager Horizon Interactive Inc.
