Outlook 2007 can handle PSTs that are 20GB and larger, as can most disk drives less that five years old. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Turned out I had a corrupted outlook.pst. When I ran Scanpst.exe it found errors. Then when I ran Compact Now, the size dropped immediately -- from 1.069 GB to 0.196 GB.
