One of our users who is running Outlook 2016 uses Search Folders to create Tasks and To-Do lists from emails flagged for followup. He has Outlook rules which move messages from his inbox to a Personal Folder stored on his laptop. This is a faculty member and MD who gets a lot of email and needs this system to organize his time and make sure he completes action items based on emails he receives from scientific collaborators and others.
Last week he sent our team a ticket saying he is seeing this error message "The Outlook data file C:\Users\johndoe\Documents\Outlook Files\Personal.pst has reached the mazimum size. To reduce the amount of data in this file, permanently delete some items that you no longer need." The file size was 37GB. He said he could not delete anything as it would not let him do anything with the file. I talked him through running scanpst.exe on it, which repaired it. Then he made a second PST file and moved some messages there.
But he reports that now items are not being created in his To-Do lists and Tasks from messages in the new Personal Folders file. He said something like this happened before and a former tech on our team who has left the company was able to somehow reset the Tasks to fix the issue.
Does anyone know how to do this or fix the issue so that To-Do and Task items are created from both .pst files?
