Does anyone know the size/capacity limit of a .pst file in the new Outlook 2003 format?
 
I would assume that it is similiar to the older format.
IE totally unpredictable but advisable not to go over 1 Gigabyte in size.

I can't see the point in that, as if you create a new PST in Outlook 2003 it gives you the option to create in the new 2003 format, which isn't compatible with previous versions. It also mentions that it has greater capacity.

Anyone know?
 
according to the microsoft site:

"In Outlook 2003 .pst files are in the UNICODE format by default, and the folder size has a limit that is more than 20 GB
