Hello, I have a user that insists on keeping every email other than spam. Over the last three years he has acquired over 3-4 gigs worth (lot's of attachments, needed attachments). We've set him up a seperate (actually two) pst files to keep his old data in. However, since Outlook still opens these other pst's for his viewing every time it starts, it's very slow (I mean, that's around 4 gigs of emails!) So, my question is ~ Is there another program he could use that can work with large pst files, or a program I could export all his old emails (Inbox, different folders, sent items etc etc) to where he could bring it up if he had the need to go back, then I could leave his current PST file in outlook as a much smaller file, therefore making it much more reliable and speedy? Thank you! He is using Outlook 2002

Is your pst at around 2 gigs or more? If so, try either making another pst file and moving some emails to it to free up space in your primary, or delete some. When you get down to well under 2 gigs, reboot and try again.
