Outlook file size
Today I saw again a problem with a college not being able to use his email outlook because the max size of the PST file has been reached, it’s incredible how often this happens to many people, I read that some versions of Outlook have corrected this problem… I have seen situations where it’s not possible even to delete messages,…weird.
The preoblem comes from two design errors, as far as I can tell:
-The PST have a maximum size of 2Gb
-Removing emails from the emails does not realy empty the file, this is related to the file structure.
The solution to solve this problems are:
-Remove as much as you can, and wait some time.
-Create a new Personal Folder, and assign it to be the new incoming folder.
The real solution, stop using Outlook, move to a better program, like thunderbird, or even better, stop using Windows, switch to Linux.
