some peolpe/users say, the newest software version must be better then the
"old" ones.
The general meaning about "old" Outlook PST files is: The are not safe, they
often go corrupted and the maximum size is not 2 GB, the make problems after
1.6GB.
I can not confirm this. We work with 15 central "old" shared PST files with
arround 1.5 - 1.8GB (for every PST) since three and a half years without any
problems.
The benefit of an Unicode PST is of course the higher capacity (20GB) and it
is a unicode PST , so a lot of users hope that this format is more stable
then the old PST format. It is easier to handle one PST file then 3,4 or 5
and it is easier to save one file then addditional files, but the
performance is the same. I prefere to use Outlook 2003 with Unicode PST
files, because this version was developed for Unicode PST files.
This is my personal meaning. All other users round the world could have
another meaning. ;-)
