1) I would suggest creating a new .pst file - 17GB is beyond huge. They start destabilizing around 2GB.

2) You can create a separate archive .pst file with just the emails you need but it's a manual process.

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.

This threw me off (until I realized the date of SM's message) as I didn't have any Private Messages. Or PMS.

And it was SM who did help me on the issue back then - thank you again for your assistance!
