    Hi Lisa, now the user is using New outlook, it has no issue, but he want outlook classic. If i remove profile is this will affect the new outlook also?

  • hi Shabin, how did you get the OST to 100 gigs? Outlook Classic only has a limit of 50 gigs, so look at it this way, the server mailbox can have 100+ but Outlook can only really safely view 49 gigs before it expands and most likely will lose functionality in time. When you first setup a new Exchange account in Outlook Classic the default is one year. You can view "all" but if the server has more than 50 gigs, you can turn on in-place archive, then  you can view "online" mode more email. 

    I highly recommend a new profile and download 1 year of data, leave the rest to search. That will give you a better Outlook experience and Outlook should not crash so often.

    Hi Lisa, Thanks for the reply. 100GB is the OST. How can i set 1year of data while creating new profile. The user has EP2 license. Thanks

  • Shabin, is the PST or OST 100 gigs? Either one is well beyond the limits of what Outlook can handle. 50 gigs is the limit. I would create a new Outlook profile and only download 1 year of data and that should download a manageable amount of emails/data from the server. Other things that can cause Outlook to crash is doing all the Office updates, Windows updates, checking your AV, firewall, VPN and web filters.
