Oversized PST File
Hi guys,
I've got a client who never deletes his emails and his .pst file is now 1.92 GB. I assume this is the reason he can now no longer do anything with Outlook (he's using 2002) - he can't open/delete/send/receive etc. Anyone know a way I can fix this or recover the data ? Many thanks. Regards Colin.

Oversized PST File
Greetings Colin
Eventually, the file will have to be split up. Start by Archiving data older than 1/1/2006 into an archive.pst. (File Archive...) Or, for much more temporary relief, compress the PST file. (File Data File Management Personal Folders Settings Compact Now) You might end up running other repair tools later, also. good luck!

Hi feigenluis,
and yes, the actual limit for the pst files is 1.8GB The actual limit of an Outlook 97-2002 PST file is 2 GB (2.096 MB): http://ask-leo.com/what_can_i_do_abo..._huge_pst.html -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Synchronize your Outlook: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com "feigenluis" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... how about running scanpst.exe? that should be enough to fix the damaged pst file and to restore the info. and yes, the actual limit for the pst files is 1.8GB. -- feigenluis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feigenluis's Profile: http://www.officehelp.in/member.php?userid=5000 View this thread: http://www.officehelp.in/showthread.php?t=1256760 Posted from - http://www.officehelp.in

Hi Colin,
1.92 GB is so close to the size limitation of Outlook PST file which is 2 GB, that's why your client can't open/delete/send/receive etc. Our product Advanced Outlook Repair can recover mail messages, folders, posts, etc. in PST files. You can download a free demo version at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/aor.exe Our product Advanced Outlook Repair is a powerful Microsoft outlook recovery tool. It can recover PST files as large as 16777216 TB (i.e. 17179869184 GB). See more detailed information, please visit http://www.datanumen.com/aor/index.htm Alan Chen DataNumen, Inc. - World leader in data recovery technologies Website: http://www.datanumen.com Fax: +1-800-9917-FAX (US Toll-Free), +852-31829286 (HONG KONG)
