Outlook to use 2003 PST file format with IMAP
12-03-08
So I was back the stupid clients that had the crappy mdaemon / IMAP setup. This time upgrading there MS Office version to 2003 in an effort to stop the IMAP pst file hitting the 2GB limit. Anyway after pulling my hair out to get it to use the 2003 UNICODE PST type store I came across this post: link
“This issue occurs if the DWORD value for the NewPSTFormat registry entry is set to 2. This condition requires Outlook to use the Unicode-based personal folders (.pst) file format. This file format is incompatible with IMAP. ” Fuck! Looks like stupid internet standards win again!
You know the worst part – The client is a lawyer and he explicitly asked me in a email if this will fix the problem, to which I replied “Yes it will”
Now I just need to find that damn message…….
