[LUAU] EMail Server Limits

[Maddog]

The problem with the PST's is that they cannot access those emails from the
web. In Microhard Exchange the "Files" are stored as a db using the MSDE or
Microsoft Desktop Engine which is sort of a combination of SQL Server and
Access.

Anyways, If the file system is the limit on the email server i would be fine
but Exchange 2000 Standard edition has a 16 GB limit on the size of the
files.
