It is the Archive file that is that large. I keep my main PST file under 5 GB. In Outlook 2003, 2 GB was the defacto maximum but Outlook 2007 can handle up to about 5 GB without problem (at least according to a couple of people I have talked to and according to my own experience - my main PST file regularly gets up close to 10 GB and I have never had a stability issue with Outlook 2007).

Yeah, that's what I am trying to avoid.

You can do an "automatic" archive (I do not mean an "auto-archive") into the .pst file of your choice. You just need to specify it in the dialog.

Check your PMs Kevy.

This one had us stumped. Anyone know what this is and why it keeps popping up? It is on a Mac, but this pops up in Parallels (a PC environment on the Mac). It seems to have appeared about the time we set up our Exchange server and put this person on Outlook 2010 on the PC side.

I can't read the text of the bottom message.

Kevy has PMS? Well that explains a lot.

What's unusual? That's my standard experience with Firefox when I download a file. Is this coming up when you're not downloading something? Or did it not used to come up when downloading?

On the Outlook issue, you can just copy the data file (pst file) and transfer it to the laptop. Go, in outlook, to tool, account settings, data file and then set it as the default. If you keep the file name the same, you should be able to transfer it back and forth pretty easily.

You can also do export and import of it but it seems to take forever.

He is not downloading anything - that message just pops up about every 30 seconds. Continuously. Methinks virus.

That was an old message from September and this is what I ended up doing.

Becomes a moot point now that we are on Exchange - I will be using the Outlook remote log-in via a browser interface. Much simpler.
