Avoid The Problem All Together
The problem with PST in outlook is generally with older computers. The size limit on Microsoft outlook is 2GB and when people exceed that amount, problems such as not being able to open or load files, or not being able to add new data arises. Microsoft has released several service packages that stops data from being added once the 2GB limit approaches. There are also technical support companies such as Text Support Pro that can back up your data for you on outlook settings if you need to exceed the 2GB limit, or you can just buy an new computer because all Microsoft outlooks after the year 2003 have a new PST format which doesn’t have the 2GB limit. Another way to get around this problem, which is a pain but if you need to do it, do it, is make multiple small folders and when knew data is added, add those files to the folders.
Thank You!
