Hi Experts,<br />

I'm using MS Outlook 2003 on windows XP. The problem I'm having at the moment that every time the PST files reaches 2GB its starts giving the maximum size error and as soon as it reaached this limits it starts deleting all the new incomming messages or stops send/recieve. When I searched on Google I found the folllowing link to configure the size of PST file.<br />
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832925" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832925</a><br />
there is no OFFICE option under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<wbr />\Policies\<wbr />Microsoft and also there is no PST option under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<wbr />\Microsoft<wbr />\Office\11<wbr />.0\Outlook<wbr />\.<br />
I did more searching the found the by default the outlook 2003 gives 20GB to the PST file, so cant see the reason why it start giving error every time it reaches 2GB.<br />
<br />

PST file size in Outlook 2003

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Windows Live Mail is the successor to Outlook Express, a discontinued email and news client bundled with several versions of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 98 to Windows Server 2003, and available for Windows 95 and Mac OS 9. In Windows Vista, Outlook Express was superseded by Windows Mail, then again by Windows Live Mail as separate software. Outlook Express is a different application from Microsoft Outlook. Beginning with Windows Vista Microsoft included Windows Mail, based on large parts of Outlook Express source code.
