As
per the common observation, the performance of MS Outlook starts
degrading gradually as the size of the PST file tends to grow. This
could sometimes result in complete inaccessibility of Outlook if
attention is not paid or proper measures are not taken. Basically,
this happens due to the file size limit of PST in Outlook, which is
mere 2 GB in MS Outlook versions 97, 2000 and 2002 (XP); 20 GB in MS
Outlook 2003 and 2007 versions. However, in the latest versions i.e.
MS Outlook 2010 and 2013 this limit is considerably increased to 50
GB.
Maximum
problems are faced in the earlier versions due to very less size of
PST. Avery simple solution to avoid this problem is splitting the PST
file. It can be easily performed by moving the data items of the PST
file to another PST or location with the help of the options that are
available in MS Outlook itself. Firstly, you can simply move the PST
file data items to other folders by using the option ‘Move to
Folders’. Secondly, you can archive the data items that are not
being used by using ‘Archive’ option. Thirdly, use ‘Import and
Export’ option to send or receive the data items from one PST file
to another.
We
will go through the complete process of all the three methods by
following which you can easily move the PST file data items and split
the file yourself.
