In the options of EVDA, you have the ability to specify the size of the pst file you wish to create when you export or produce your results.
However, no matter what you pick here, it will always create a PST of 600mb.  According to this tech article http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/327775.htm
it was the fact that CD's were around 600mb, well we have Dual Layer DVD's that hold about 8 gig now AND since Outlook 2003 microsoft has increased the PST size from 2 gig to about 20 gig for the size of a PST.
It's very frustrating when creating a bunch of little PST's then having to combine them in 1 big PST to run other analysis tools on the PST (like a DeDupe)
