We migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003. We exported pst files from 5.5 and imported them to 2003. We have one user that had 1.9gb on 5.5 and when we export it on pst was 6GB. The problem we have is to import that 6gb to 2003. We have the linitation of the 2GB. Is it a way to bypass this limitation of the 2GB?

Thanks in advance

You could install Outlook 2003 on a PC and use that to export since it
supports the new Unicode PST format with support up to 32GB.
Then use that same Outlook client to import the mail back in.

You can also do one more thing:
=> Create 4 personal folders in outlook. Each personal folder file is a PST
file
=> Move different folders of the user's mailbox into different personal
foders and balance the load in such a way that each PST file has 1.5GB.
=> On the destination end, you can use outlook again and upload each of the
PST file and move it back to the mailbox.
