I know that mailboxes corrupt in Exchange when they get past 2 GB. With the increase in information store size in Exchage 2k3 does anyone know what the new mailbox size limit is? Has it been increased?

Not true. PST's on local systems in versions of Outlook previous to Outlook 2003 were limited to 2GB. With Outlook 2003, it's something rediculous measured in TB's, I think like 20TB's.

Mailbox size is set by the administrator. You can set a maximum mailbox size on a global basis and also on a per user basis.

If you are taking about a maximum database size, it depends on the version of Exchange you are using. Exchange 2003 Standard SP2 is increased from 16GB to 75GB. 18GB is the default

For Enterprise Edition, there is no software set maximum size.
