PST file can be non-Unicode format (ANSI format) or Unicode format. For
non-Unicode format, the max size is 2GB. As Remco pointed out, this is
Microsoft limitation.
As for the original question, if the data you wan to restore is larger than
2GB, it should be restored into a Unicode format PST file
Remco
PST files CAN be and have been larger. In the old days, even though
Microsoft definitely recommended against allowing them to get larger than
2GB (because there were no repair tools) we would regularly see people with
2-4GB PST files. This is definitely an OUTLOOK version dependent problem
