PST Splitter

Microsoft Outlook's latest version supports UNICODE file format that is more improved with large data storage capacity since it stores about 65000 of items inside a single folder. However the earlier version of Outlook used to have very limited file size parameter therefore once the pst file content goes beyond the file size limit it goes corrupt.

Oversize pst file has maximum chances of getting corrupt or data inside the pst file often goes damaged too. Such situation may turn the entire data inside the Outlook pst file inaccessible or even the entire attachment files may also turn inaccessible leading into huge data loss. Moreover slow and weird processing of Outlook is also experienced because of large pst file issues.

The files size limitation Outlook 2002 and the earlier version provides only 2 GB file size limit value. Constant storage of data inside Outlook pst file increases the content beyond the limitation of Outlook pst file and hence oversize pst file turns to be troubling issue. In case for Outlook 97-2002 user if the pst file goes oversize resulting mails access issues, frequent hang-up in course of sending or receiving mails then upgrading the pst file to unicode format can be done.

It will help to have more items to be included in the pst file as the UNICODE pst format provides can have 20 GB file size which enhances the chance to add more data inside the pst file. But before going to convert ANSI PST to UNICODE one must create backup of the original pst file so as to get rid of data loss issues.

However there is no such procedure to convert ANSI PST to UNICODE format provided by Microsoft accepting the only option that is Import or Export. The process involves the creation of new pst file and the content of the earlier pst file one import into the new one.

This way it is possible to get rid of large pst file problem if they are in ANSI file format. However if you are not able to convert ANSI PST to UNICODE or want this process as risky one and want another method to sort out large pst file issues, pst split tool is the best option. Split PST tool splits the pst file into smaller pst file with the all data of the single pst file divided into two and no single content of the pst file is lost thereby. Split pst file is regraded to be the best way to get rid of data corruption or damage problem encountered by oversize Outlook pst file.
