File size??

[jen0dorf]

Hi

Had a workstation drive go down with a head failure.

Put a new hardrive in and installed xppro and office 2000.

I set up outlook to talk to exchange 2000 and it opens the
default folders as I would expect.

I then was told that any email sent to the account was bounced
back with a size error or mail box full error.

So I went back on site and did the following:-



Warning storage limit: 360000
Prihibit send: 360000
Prohibit send and receive: 400000


treble what they were before

I set the outgoing size limit to 10000
and the incoming size limit to 10000

Now when I send a test email saying "hello test"

I get "The message wasnot delivered because it is larger than the current system limit.

Create a shorter message ro remove attachments and try sending again.

I've search for the correct question to ask and after much thought I found the exact phrase

Help?

thanks

Ian

Delete the outlook profile and recreate.

Hi

thanks for that, didn't work but I have solved/found a work around.

I discovered the mail box was 2gb

What I did was created a new user/mailbox and set the user to pick up mail from that box. The gave her permissions to view the old box and changed the email address etc.

It works so problem solved - not ideal but the client wont pay for any upgrades etc and the 2000 server has been running since 2002 with no reininstalls etc.

thanks

Prior to Outlook 2003 and unicode pst/ost, If you used cached mode/offline folders or delivered to a pst you could hit the ansi pst limit aside from any server side mailbox or message limits.

It's always a good idea to post the versions of each application in your problem description in that it makes recognizing issues like this far easier. (xppro, office 2000, exchange 2000)

He did "(xppro, office 2000, exchange 2000)". I was just reiteriating that it is always a good idea to do that.
