stores all of its data, including emails and attachments, in a single .pst file
and that file can quickly grow to gargantuan proportions--especially if you've
got plenty of attachments. That can make Outlook load and run more slowly, and
if your .pst file gets too big you'll be prone to crashes. What to do if you
want to keep your attachments, but don't want the .pst file to get too big? Get
the clever Outlook Attachment Remover. It saves your attachments to your PC, and
gets them out of Outlook, so deletes them from your .pst file. It then links
your email directly to the attachment, so in Outlook it appears as if the
attachment still exists. You still see the attachment icon, but the file is
actually on disk, not in Outlook.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
