PST Format

[Alias]

I have Outlook 2003 and I am not sure if I am still using the old .pst file
from 2000 or if I am using the new format that can grow to a much larger
size than the old format. How do I tell which one I'm using?

Thanks,

Peter

Right-click on the root of the PST and choose Properties. Click Advanced
and read the contents of the Format field. If it mentions "97-2002", it's
the old format.
