How to configure the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook

Quelle: Link

 

Summary

Microsoft Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003 support American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and UNICODE personal folders (.pst) and offline folder (.ost) files. This article describes how to use the following four registry entries to limit the size of both the .pst and the .ost files:

  • The MaxFileSize registry entry
  • The WarnFileSize registry entry
  • The MaxLargeFileSize registry entry
  • The WarnLargeFileSize registry entry

Note The WarnLargeFileSize and WarnFileSize registry entries do not enable Outlook to warn you before the file size limit is reached.

The MaxFileSize registry entry

The MaxFileSize registry entry determines the absolute maximum size that both the .pst and the .ost files can grow to. After this maximum size is reached, Outlook does not permit the size of the file to grow beyond this size.

The WarnFileSize registry entry

The WarnFileSize registry entry determines the maximum data that both the .pst and the .ost files can have. After this maximum data is reached, neither the .pst nor the .ost files are permitted to add any more data. However, the size of the physical file may still increase because of internal processes.

In the following table, the MaxLargeFileSize registry entry and the WarnLargeFileSize registry entry refer to a UNICODE formatted (new Large format) file, and the MaxFileSize registry entry and the WarnFileSize registry entry refer to an ANSI formatted (an earlier Microsoft Outlook format) file. The UNICODE values are set in megabyte (MB) increments, while the ANSI values are set in byte increments.

Outlook 2016, 2013, and 2010

My Email Communications Security Assessment (MECSA)

Über MECSA

https://mecsa.jrc.ec.europa.eu/de/

Die MECSA-Plattform dient hauptsächlich zwei Zielen. Zum einen soll sie als allgemeiner Überblick über die Sicherheits- und Datenschutzmethoden der Provider in der Versendung und im Empfang von Emails dienen.

Dabei wird ein besonderer Fokus auf die Email-Kommunikation zwischen Email-Servern (MTAs) gelegt. Dazu beurteilt die MECSA-Plattform 8 unterschiedliche Kenngrößen (StartTLS, x509 Certificate validation, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DANE, DNSSEC) in Form verschiedener Email-Sicherheits-Standards, die daraufhin ausgewählt wurden, dass sie die Sicherheit und den Datenschutz von MTA-zu-MTA Email-Kommunikation stärken.

Andererseits zielt MECSA darauf ab genauso ein Tool für Verbraucher wie für Systemadministratoren zu werden. Für Verbraucher und Verbraucherinnen soll es das öffentliche Bewusstsein für die Wichtigkeit von Emailsicherheit- und Datenschutz erhöhen, indem es ihnen einen Möglichkeit an die Hand gibt die Güte ihrer Email-Provider zu testen und sich dabei umfangreich über die Ergebnisse zu informieren. Für Systemadministratoren soll MECSA ein hilfreiches Werkzeug werden, um das Niveau an Sicherheit und Datenschutz ihrer Dienste zu erhöhen.
