Outlook Oversized OST File Problem
Hi,
I have an Outlook 2010 user (whose mailbox size is over 50GB) on Exchange 2010. He uses Outlook 2010 in "cached mode".
Today there was an error about OST size. I checked the size of OST file and it was very close to 50GB.
I understand that maximum size of OST or PST on Outlook 2010 is 50GB.
For now I disabled "Cached mode" in Outlook 2010. But I prefer to run Outlook in Cache mode just in case Exchange Server is not available, at least the user would have access to all previous emails & folders.
So what is the best solution here?
(1) Simply disable Cache mode or
(2) Change registry value "somehow" to allow OST file size bigger than 50GB if that is possible?
Thanks.

Has anyone maintained OST file > 50GB?
How slow they become?
Other than slower performance in Outlook, what else could go wrong or what else the user would notice?
