In Windows, Outlook is limited to a maximum of 2 GB for email storage before problems start occurring.  This is due to a preemptive limit in Outlook based on a Windows problem with dealing with large files.  My first question is in Linux is there a problem with large files which would cause the OS to become unstable?  Secondly does Evolution have a limit of email file size based on this OS limit?

Windows can't handle files larger than 2GB when you're using fat32, which is most common with the dos-based versions of Windows, though Windows XP also gives you the option of using fat32. If you're using NTFS or any Linux filesystem, you shouldn't have to worry about file sizes.
