Increase the Size of Outlook PST Files
Anyone who sits and reads and responds to emails all day for living (like myself) may be wondering how to cope with the terrible default setting in Outlook that causes email to seize up once it reaches the 2GB limit. These .pst files can be annoying and seriously disrupt the flow of your day.
Sure you can try some registry hacks, but some users don't feel comfortable messing around in the registry, and rightly so. Screwing up in the registry can be much worse than a full .pst file in the long run. You can archive your .pst files to keep the active one manageable, but after a while you'll have a ton of archived files that take forever to search through.
Why not just increase the maximum size of the .pst file from the 2GB limit to something a little larger. Why not set it to 20 GB?
Why not, indeed...

You honestly have no idea how many customers of mine that have problems because of this and bitch and moan because they have to delete 3 year old spam mail. This will actually be helpful to me. Thanx!
Are you saying that they want an email to be able to be larger the 2GB? or that the total amount that Outlook can keep in your inbox can't exceed 2GB?
I'm a Lotus Notes user, so I'm not familiar with Outlook, but that doesn't sound bad. I think I can't exceed 500MB.
Now lets not start taking about Lotus Notes though... that's a whole different issue.
