How to fix or repair oversized Outlook PST file?
I'm looking for a solution over the internet on how to repair or fix an oversized PST file, its size is almost 4GB already, in whereas SCANPST.EXE can't repair it anymore... Any other advise on how to resolve this file? I tried to look on the internet for the free softwares, but failed to find anything...
BTW, I'm using Outlook 2007.
Hope to hear any advise from anyone of you...

Most probably this will solve your issue in case if it doesn't solve your issue then you need to split large pst file using Recover Outlook tool.

Just for accuracy - a 4gb <Unicode> PST file (OL'2007's default format) would not be considered "oversized". The size limit for the earlier format <ANSI> based PST file is 2gb.

What exactly do you mean by "SCANPST.EXE can't repair it anymore" - does it fail with a specific error message to that effect or you're terminating it because it's taking a really long time (which it can) or.......? Also, depending on the state of the PST file, you may need to run ScanPST multiple times to get rid of all underlying errors - running it just once may not do it in case that's the scenario you're encountering.

Hello,

As you told that you had already applied scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool) to fix the issue, but still getting the same problem. Actually, scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool) doesn't work for High level corruption. In that case you have to rely on any of the third party resources in order to revive their data of PST file. I had faced the same problem couple of months ago and when I searched over the internet about this issue, I found PST Repair Tool (as reliable and efficient software). I installed this tool and ran its demo version which really worked great. I would like to suggest you this tool on the behalf of my personal experience.

Thanks & Regards

Hi

The default .pst file size limit in Outlook 2007 is 20 GB, so your .pst file is really not oversized as <Karl Timmermans> pointed out above.

Maybe it's just some corruptions in it, what exact problem are you facing while using this .pst file?
