microsoft outlook max out at 2GB, you can edit the register and make it go up to 20GIG.

Follow these steps to configure the size limit for both the .pst and the .ost files.

Note The settings that are discussed in this article apply to both .ost and .pst files. If you modify these registries, this can affect .ost files that are used with Cached Exchange Mode, with AutoArchive, and with .pst. files.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In the left pane, expand My Computer, and then expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
4. Expand Software, and then expand Policies.
5. Expand Microsoft, and then expand Office.
6. Expand 11.0 for Outlook 2003, 12.0 for Outlook 2007, or 14.0 for Outlook 2010, and then expand Outlook.
7. Click PST, and then right-click MaxFileSize in the right pane.
8. Click Modify, and then type the value in the Value data box.
9. Click OK.
10. Right-click WarnFileSize, and repeat steps 8 through 9.
11. Right-click MaxLargeFileSize, and repeat steps 8 through 9.
12. Right-click WarnLargeFileSize, and repeat steps 8 through 9.

Note You may have to create the registry values if they do not exist. If the registry values do not exist, follow these steps to create them.

1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.
2. In the left pane, expand following registry key:

For Outlook 2010
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook
For Outlook 2007
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook
For Outlook 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
4. Type PST, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD value.
6. Type MaxFileSize, and then press ENTER two times.
7. In the Edit DWORD Value window, type the value in the Value data box, and then click OK.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 to create another DWORD WarnFileSize.
9. Repeat steps 3 through 7 to create another DWORD MaxLargeFileSize.
10. Repeat steps 3 through 7 to create another DWORD WarnLargeFileSize, and then close the registry.

Note For mass deployment of these registry keys on end-user machines, the ORK tool can be used.

To automate the registry creation on end-user machines, use ORK for deployment scenarios.
It is recommended that the values between the MaxFileSize registry entry and the WarnFileSize registry entry, and the values between the MaxLargeFileSize registry entry and the WarnLargeFileSize registry entry be at least 5 percent (%) so that internal processes are not hindered from continuing.

If the value of the MaxFileSize registry entry ever exceeds the ANSI 2 gigabyte (GB) limit on either the .pst or the .ost files, the value will be ignored to limit the size to 2 GB to prevent corruption. The default value for the WarnFileSizeregistry registry entry is calculated to be 95% of the MaxFileSize registry entry for a UNICODE file, and it remains at 1,950,368,768 bytes for small ANSI files.

Note You can set the UNICODE limits beyond the values that are listed in the table. However, we do not recommend doing this because performance can decrease.

If .ost files or .pst files reach the limit that is specified in the WarnFileSize or the WarnLargeFileSize registries, the compaction function is triggered to try to reduce the size of the file to a usable level. When the WarnFileSize or the WarnLargeFileSize limit is reached, e-mail messages cannot be sent (provided that sent e-mail messages are stored in the Sent Items folder), and items cannot be copied or moved within the file. If the file is an archive .pst file that is used for AutoArchive, the AutoArchive operation will fail. However, e-mail messages can be deleted or archived from a .pst or from an .ost file that is currently being used as the default delivery location.

The following are some of the errors that may occur when files reach the maximums specified in the registries:

* When you try to move items to a .pst or an .ost file that has reach the limit, you receive the following error message:
Can't move the items. The file \.pst has reached its maximum size. To reduce the amount of data in this file, select some items that you no longer need, and then permanently delete them.
* When e-mail messages are delivered to a .pst or an .ost file that are using Cached Exchange Mode, and the file has reached the limit, the Mailbox Cleanup wizard launches.

IE8, IE9 really Slow when I click on it.

IE8 slow when you click on it.

ZDNet published the results of some performance testing involving the current crop of browsers. During the course of my research, I stumbled across a tweak that I was at first hesitant to publish. After thinking carefully about it, I decided to do so. I’m glad I did. I have now heard from easily a dozen people via e-mail and in comments who say the improvement in performance for them is amazing.

Please read the original post (Is IE8 really fat and slow?) to get the full background. If you’re experiencing problems with IE8 being slow to load pages, especially when multiple tabs are involved, this might be worth a try. Because this tweak is simply registering a DLL that should have been registered as part of the IE8 installation, there is no harm that can come from trying this.

Here are the instructions.

FOR WINDOWS XP

1. Click Start, then click Run.

2. In the Run dialog box, type cmd and press Enter.

3. In the Command Prompt window, enter this text and press Enter:

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

4. Restart your computer.

FOR WINDOWS VISTA/WINDOWS 7

1. Type cmd in the Start menu Search box.

2. Right-click the Cmd shortcut that appears at the top of the search results list, Under Programs, as shown here.

3. Choose Run As Administrator.

4. In the Command Prompt window, enter this text and press Enter:

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

5. Restart your computer.

If this works for you, let me know in the comments below…

Ten tips to make email more productive

Ever been overwhelmed by emails at work? Experts report billions of emails
are sent every day and they’re still increasing. With so many messages
arriving throughout the day, email can easily become a continual interruption
and distraction from getting real work accomplished. Here are some useful tips
that will help give you more control over your time and increase your efficiency.

1 Put email on a schedule

Instead of reading and responding to emails as they arrive, set aside
specific times of day for them. This can vary from one to three or four times
a day, depending on your situation. If you’re in the habit of monitoring
your email continually it may take extra effort to change your behavior,
but once you do you’ll soon find yourself getting more accomplished.
2 Get set-up for success
Once you’ve established specific times for email, set-up some new rules
for your email application to help. Instead of automatically checking for
new messages every minute, adjust your application to check at a more
appropriate interval. You can also disable delivery previews and sounds to
reduce email’s intrusion into your productivity.
3 Read it and deal with it
Some messages are simply information, but others require action. Make
a renewed effort to deal with emails as you read them—reply, file, delete,
or print. If you don’t, you’ll end of up reading the same message two or
more times. In fact, if you know in advance that an email will take some
concentrated effort, don’t read it until you have the time to deal with it.
4 Put the subject line to work
When you write an email, take a moment to ensure the subject line is as
clear and complete as possible. For example, “Need feedback on Jones
Sales Presentation (attached) by Friday” is much more productive than
simply “Sales Presentation Review.”
5 Make the subject the message
When your message is very short use the subject line for the entire
message. For example, “Reminder: Feedback on Jones Sales Presentation
Due Today (EOM).” Use End of Message (EOM) so recipients know the
body of the email is blank and won’t waste time opening it.
6 Keep your message focused
When most people read on-screen they tend to scan. Big blocks of text
discourage readers and information is more easily overlooked. Keep your
emails short, to-the-point, and clear. Here are some tips to help:
• Add a space between paragraphs
• Use bullet points to improve readability
• List action items (with names)
• Use separate emails for disparate topics
