I currently am in the process of building the Outlook Mailboxes on various computers, some of which stop at 9GB,14GB but mainly 49GB (49,000,000kb) on the OST file and say all folders are updated, I know why they stop at 50 due to the limit but i'm confused as to why the other profiles stop building.
From what I understand here are my options for the 50GB limit:
Let me know if there are any alternatives. As I've been instructed by my senior that the first three options aren't acceptable and the bottom one will be a 2 week+ process when I have a whole office that needs computers now unfortunately.
Thank a lot for reading and I appreciate any suggestions :)

The trouble you are having is that outlook and other modern mail apps use some type of encryption and compression. There are limits to the size of the compression and encryption apps. You are limited by math sadly.

Hi @bencole,
What license do you have in Office 365 ? If you have E3, E5, Exchange Online Plan 2 or others you can enable Online Archive and set the rule for archive to 5 years for example to older email's are available on Online Archive and if the user does not have 50Gb per 5 years you never have problem with your OST.
