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.
