HomepagePST Size - 2GB PST
In old outlook versions (2002 and earlier) the pst file size maximum limit was set to 2GB because of the use in ANSI encoding. From outlook 2003 and forth the pst file format was changed to Unicode, that made it posibble to set the maximum to 20GB.
Many people use Microsoft Outlook for their personal and business email. In addition to this, Outlook can handle calendar schedules, storing contact information, and other important data. However, all of this data is usually stored in a PST file, which is an essential part of helping Outlook to function correctly. When this PST file is damaged, it can prevent you from having access to your personal data in Outlook. Many people aren't aware that the PST size actually may be the reason for a corrupt or damaged PST file. PST files are designed to store data in a way that constantly increases the size of the PST file, even if items are deleted. No matter what the cause for a damaged PST file, Stellar Outlook PST Repair is able to recover and repair all of your important data with ease.
If you are experiencing problems with Microsoft Outlook, you may want to check your PST size. Navigate to the location of your PST file, and right click on the file to select "Properties". If you have over a 2GB PST file, this may be the main reason why your PST file is corrupted. In versions of Microsoft Outlook that are older than 2003, the PST and OST files use ANSI encoding. This type of encoding format regulates the file to be no larger than 2GB. If the 2GB PST file limit is exceeded, the file becomes unstable, damaged or corrupted. When you try to access or add information to your PST file, you may see one of these error messages:
1) Errors have been detected in the file xxxx.pst. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox
Repair Tool.
2) xxxx.pst can not be accessed - 0x80040116.
3) The file xxxx.pst has reached its maximum size. To reduce the amount of data in this file, select some
items that you no longer need, then permanently (shift + del) delete them.
Stellar Outlook PST Repair is able to recover files that have exceeded the 2GB PST size limit. Currently, Stellar Outlook PST Repair supports Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002, XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010. Once your PST file is repaired, you will once again be able to access your emails, contact information and other personal data that is stored in your PST file.
