Large PST files sans Exchange server 1

[DrB0b]

Hello all,
Curious what course I should take to fix an ongoing issue. We have several users who have PST files from between 12 - 6GB. There is no Exchange server running this, only a mail server ran by our ISP as we are a small company. The local PST files are very big although there is no errors or any real issue with them. I try and get a backup of each one every month in case something would happen but they seem to continuously chug along. Is there anything wrong with having a PST this large, and what are some ways to combat this?
Tried searching through the old posts but only could find ones dealing with Exchange servers and lag.
Thanks!

You can also have multiple .pst files, so splitting them into smaller files might help.

Thank you gentlemen. So being less than 50GB(20 using 2007) we should be good to go barring any other issues. Thanks for the kb article, not sure how I missed it on my Googly search.
