Outlook file size limits:
From: support.microsoft.com
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 has both a different format and a larger overall size limit for the personal folders (.pst) file than the .pst files that are in the earlier versions of Microsoft Outlook. In Outlook 2002 and earlier, the .pst files are in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) format, and the overall size has a limit of 2 gigabytes (GB).

In Outlook 2003 .pst files are in the UNICODE format by default, and the overall size of the .pst files has a limit that is more than 20 GB. Outlook 2003 supports both the UNICODE and the ANSI formats, but the versions of Outlook that are earlier than Outlook 2003 do not support the UNICODE format and have a smaller size limit.

Your file size is also limited by the file system of the hard drive:
FAT: Maximum file size is 2 GB.
FAT32: Maximum file size is 4 GB.
NTFS: File size limited only by size of volume.

I didn't find anything that specifically addressed OE.
