Outlook 2003's PSTs can hold 20 GB at a minimum, so the size of the PST
shouldn't be an issue except for the ability to keep track of that
information. Rules are good ways to help that process. He should create
rules that will sort messages from certain mailing lists into list-specific
folders, if he wishes. You can have multiple PSTs, so there's no physical
limit to how much data Outlook can hold, except for the capacity of the hard
drive. AutoArchiving can also help keep data manageable.
No need to forward them Gmail allows IMAP accounts, so you can simply
create an IMAP account on gmail and then drag/drop the messages from the
existing PST(s) to the gmail folders.
