No, I said that there is a marked speed difference between pst files below 2GB, and pst file above 2GB. if any single pst file gets above 1.8GB for me, then even opening a folder, and having it list the messages in the folder, could take 20 minutes of the _whole_ machine hanging, and the disk spi

Another option is to open the PST files in Outlook and then export them: http://www.genusa.com/utils/pmseu.htm This is a super nifty utility that allows you to export all of your messages from a PST file to flat files. Lots of options, works really well. On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 4:29 PM, Erika L

Allowable, yes. Performable, not in my experience. Once a file gets over 1.8GB for me, outlook bogs like it is running on a IBM XT. Might just be my configuration, but if I keep the pst files under 2GB, then outlook flies for me. Which is why I at this point have 11 pst files to hold my archive

2GB is the very upper limit on a pst file. you need to lean it down a little or split it into 2. 1.8GB is about the upper limit of a pst for decent functioning. On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 9:28 PM, Erika L. Walker wrote: > > That wont work. We're talking at least 15 gig's worth of email spread out >

That wont work. We're talking at least 15 gig's worth of email spread out into several PST's over the years. Outlook 2007 has been hosing up trying to process a 2gig pst on a computer with plenty of ram. I might try Thunderbird. I forgot that is an option and they have a plugin to import too. Was
