Another problem -- AFAIK, outlook is only 32bit. My mom gets
harassed, constantly to move things out of her primary .pst file and
into 'archives', (where she can't easily access them and they don't
have to be indexed...) because, the internal format became more
strained as it got larger. With 6G of folders, indexing those, your
user might be hitting outlook memory problems (not running out, but
'thrashing')...
Outlook < 2007 were limited to 2GB .pst files.

gets slow/sluggish with more than 10GB (and keep good backups, .pst
files can get corrupted if you look at them too hard)...
IMAP support got much better in 2007, and is even better in 2010, but
Outlook still only really shines as an Exchange client, and that is the
way Microsoft wants it (and understandably so)...
Personally, I would only use Outlook in an Exchange environment, never
as a standalone email client, although it's calendar is much better than
Thunderbird+Lightning I'm sad to say...
