outlook files

[vaes]

Where on my pc can I see the total quantity of GB that all my mailmessages
contain? And does an important quantity can be a problem for my pc (getting
slow) ?

Thanks

Jacques

The file is called Outlook.pst. That's the default name. If you have renamed
it to something else, you'll have to search for that name.

Without knowing your version of Outlook and O/S, I can't really give you
further location details. However you can search for *.pst and include
hidden files/folders in the search. You may also have an archive.pst file as
well.

I can say that if you use Outlook 2002 or older, then you have a limit of 2
GB (max) on your PST file. PST files created with Outlook 2003 or later can
become much larger.

Right click on the root of your folder tree, choose Properties then click
the Folder Size button. Do you archive messages? That might help in trimming
down folder size and maybe increase your speed.
