Split an Oversized OST File into Multiple PST Files
Outlook OST files contain a complete copy of the mailbox data including emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes. With increased mailbox usage over time these OST files can grow to be very large. If the file size becomes too large, it can slow Outlook down, create synchronisation issues, or even crash, especially if it is at or above the size limits for Outlook.
To maintain Outlook’s gradual performance and to ensure a steady access to data, it is often necessary to split huge OST files into smaller PST files. It’s easier to handle, better organised, and more convenient to back up and migrate smaller files, especially when it comes to older or archived mailbox data.
