Sounds likely, then, thay he's still using the old Outlook 2000 PST. If
this is an IMAP account (AOL or grmail, for example), then there's nothing
you can do about it except to move messages off the server to another PST
kept locally, since Outlook 2003 always uses the old ANSI format for its
IMAP PSTs, and it's the PST format that has the limit. If, however, it's a
POP account, then you should migrate the data to a Unicode PST (the new
format that Outlook 2003 introduced), which can hold 100 times more data (at
a minimum) than the old format can. See if this helps:
