643961	2008-02-27 03:45:00	Hi There I am using Microsoft Outlook as my email program. I would like to know if it is possible to increase the size of my datafile (pst), I would like to keep about 50Gig of emails if it is necessary. Is there a easy way for me to do this?	louisbotha (5905)
643962	2008-02-27 04:07:00	Welcome to PressF1! 50GB!!:eek: I look after a business that has 25 users on Microsoft Exchange and all of their combined emails only add up to about 25GB.	CYaBro (73)

That's true. I've had problems with Outlook on machines where the .pst file has only been about 1.5GBs.	CYaBro (73)

Once a .pst file gets to about a gig I like to clean it up a bit, or create a new .pst file. And give the poor old machine trying to run it a bit more RAM.	wratterus (105)
