I'm not sure about an update, but I want to warn you about the files: 
they're very fragile and prone to break if you're even near the limit. 
Sometimes you can fix them, sometimes not. Back up your working file, if 
you haven't already.

I *think* you can archive things to a different file, which should clean 
out your main PST. This is one of the reasons they updated the format. 
Just specify a different file than your PST. You might be archiving 
already if it's set to by default. I can't remember specifics, but MS 
help is actually decent (it has to be).

If you want a different email reader, there are converters. I'd 
recommend something recent, as 2007 is no longer supported and there's 
all sorts of nasties you can get from email. FWIW, I've been using 
Thunderbird (it runs on most OSes) forever. Maybe a more current Outlook.

Good luck.
