I'm building a very large contact list, does anyone know
how many contacts will be held by outlook?
 
With large table support disabled, which is the default for Outlook
97-2000, you can have on the order of 16,000 items per folder, and
16,000 subfolders per folder. With large table support enabled, which
is the default for new .PST files created in Outlook 2002 or manually
upgraded to large table support in Outlook 2000 or 2002, you can have on
the order of 65,000 items per folder and 65,000 folders per folder. I'm
not sure if it's the same in Outlook 2003 or if they've increased the
limit.

Also, the overall size of the .PST in Outlook 2002 and earlier cannot be
more than 2GB (and don't let it get anywhere near that big if you don't
want to have major problems). In Outlook 2003 there is a new format for
..PST files and they can hold quite a bit more than 2GB.
