Outlook 2007 and Norton AntiSpam issue resolved

Just wanted to post my solution that I found to an Out of Memory error I was getting with Outlook 2007, which I had attributed to Norton AntiSpam, which was not the issue.

 

The issue was under Tools-Account Settings-Data Files I had two personal.pst and two archive.pst files. These files had expanded into the 1+GB territory all totaled. The personal.pst was just a redundant shortcut and I deleted one of them under Data Files. The archive.pst was somewhat trickier as I had the MS generic named archive.pst and my archive+name.pst in the folder location. Outlook looks at both of those under Data Files and just indicates two archive.pst in the listing. Before going further, I went into Outlook and archived all but the last six month of data to the archive+name.pst.  The I Opened Folder and moved it out of the folder and onto a spare hard drive. I went back into Data Files and deleted one of the archive.pst shortcuts. Now I just have one personal.pst and one archive.pst. Outlook 2007 loads faster as does Norton AntiSpam add-in. How this helps those of you who have Outlook giving you an Out of Memory indication.
