<< < (5/5)

With an Exchange Server and IMAP, the whole PST filesize limit becomes moot.

Not Exactly... With Outlook's cached mode default (handy for laptops etc.) you're only going from .pst to .ost which can also go poof for misc. reasons. I've seen them in the 3-4GB range many times.

Good catch!  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

I completely forgot about .ost files.

(Or maybe I was trying to forget them...)

Never underestimate the ability of an end-user to innocently hose their system by taking advantage of a "productivity feature." ;D

Maybe I should have said : "should be moot if allowed to be" ?
