Exchange question: What do you do if a user's .ost file gets too big?

| I have a user who as reached (or exceeded) the 1.82GB limit.
He can no longer syncronize his email. He can't even copy email off to
a new location.
What's the best way to get past this error long enough to archive some
email?
We're working with Outlook 2000 & Exchange 2k.

| I would recreate his ost file. Lot faster and less headache than trying
troubleshoot one with errors.

| You don't need to troubleshoot it - delete it, have him work online, delete
stuff he doesn't need, and set up a new OST file that syncs to fewer
folders, perhaps.

| Yeah get the lazy sod to delete crap that he really doesn't need and recreate a new .ost I've seen this time and time again, e-mails that are years old and they never look at them!!!! |
