Hi, egate1
Check this: thread68-1208625
Did you upgrade to 2003 from 2002 or use the PST files from 2002? If so the PST may still be in the ANSI format and still subject to the 2gb limit, and you will have to create a new-format PST and import everything into it from the old one.

I don't think you can change the format, but you should be able to create a new file and move everything to it.
Keep in mind that the bigger that file gets, the more likelyhood of corruption. And, there aren't too many tools to fix that.
If you're using Exchange, it makes more sense to keep email in the Exchange mailbox than in .pst files.
