It was 1.6 gigs but I emptied the deleted folder and spam folder.  The I compacted it so Id say its 1 gig now.

Size should not be a big problem as ur pst file is of 1 GB only

If the .pst is operable but sluggish etc, would an export to a new .pst (and then use this new one) make any difference?
Does it re index itself?


Also I thought that 2 gig limit made no difference with 2003 using unicode.  I read this some where last year.

Possibly, but I doubt it.

Yes

Nope, still 2GB

Here is an article about how to configure the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook 2003

Basically it tells you edits to make in the registry.
