asked on

What are the file limits for outlook and outlook express files?

I read somewhere that the limit to .pst files was about 1-1.5GB and then it starts to play up or something.  

Is this true?  if so id this something to do with the computer struggling to process the file and open it?

What are the file limits for outlook express?

And other than general house keeping like deleting unwanted e-mails what are the other ways to help say for using outlook express?

I assume with outlook express you use a number of subfolders to categories emails and then dont end up with folders that have massive sizes in terms of file size...

Thanks
