Restore Big Outlook PST File

I have been facing issues whenever try to restore big PST file. First PST file was 33GB and the second PST file was 16GB (both are from different users). My questions:
1. Is there any limit of PST that outlook can actually restore ?
2. If the current PST file is large as mentioned above. What should I do in order to successfully migrate it from one machine to another ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

If you want restore big or large pst file without third party tool, the you can try scanpst.exe…
And Scan pst locations are below…

  • Which conversion software can I download to mac to convert outlook .pst files to mac .mbox files?

    Can anyone recommend software I can ddownload to an iMac to convert outlook .pst files stored on a memory stick to .mbox files for transfer to mac mail?  I have mail files I set up in outlook I need to transfer to my new mac, but have no internet connection on pc, so can't download anything on to it and have had to export .pst files to a usb stick.

    Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

  • Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

    iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.

  • Icloud is set, is it possible to change outlook pst file?

    I'm curious if I can alter my outlook pst file settings to the point to delete the default calender and replace that calander with the Icloud one?  Currently, when my outlook 2010 opens up to my outlook pst date file overview which gives me any tasks, emails and calendar activities so I konw what's all going on.  However, all my data was deleted from my outlook calendar when I imported it into my Icloud.  I like everything the way it is, however, I just need to replace that empty outlook calender with the Icloud calendar.

    What you want to do is not possible.

    I would be more inclined to blame Vista in general than the version of GW -
    I've used the Advansys product with GW8 with no problems. GW8 has been
    tested with Vista, but I have no idea if any of the conversion utilities
    have. Can you just do it from another PC that isn't Vista?

  • Access my Outlook .pst files on my iMac?

    I no longer have access to Outlook, but I do have my Outlook .pst files on a Flash drive, how do I open these files on my iMac?

    A pst is a proprietary database file, so you will need something to convert it.
    This article lists a couple of third-party converters: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1534

  • How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

    I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard.  I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac.  I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
    Have you got any more tips?

  • Search indexing not working in Outlook PST files

    My boss recently got Office 2010 on his new laptop.  I copied his PST's from his old laptop whihc had Office 2003 on it to the new one and added them to his profile.  They are there and look to be workign fine, until you try any sort of search
    on them.
    If I am looking at the eMails in the PST and I see a whole lot from
    [email protected] and then in the search box I type
    [email protected] the emails are all firltered away and I am told that there are no items that match the criteria.  This also happens when I try try to run an advanced search.
    So according to this post,
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/b1859770-dfb5-4224-995f-be828bd21333, I disabled Indexing of outlook, then search stops working on my default location, i.e. if I search my inbox or anything in that datafile, I get
    no results returned, but if I search one of the archieve PST files for say
    [email protected] the search runs for ages with out retunring any results, if I stop the search and then rerun it then I get results.
    It just seems a bit strange that I have to choose iether or.
    Please help ASAP as my boss leave tomorrrow on a trip to Australia and I would like to get this sorted out be fore he leave.

    This seems to be an ongoing problem. The instant search feature in Outlook 2010 is not working correctly for a large number of users. I have read many, many posts here in TechNet and many more that come up with a Google search. None of the solutions provided
    are permanently solving the problem.
    I have tried every potential solution I have found:
    Rebuilding the index did not work
    The registry key(s) PrevenIndexingOutlook, PreventIndexingEmailAttachments, did not exist (the Search Key did not exist). I tried adding both keys in 2 different suggested locations (HKCU and HKLM) Search indexing did not work with or without those keys
    added.
    I have tried everything that I have found everwhere to resolve this problem. I found one solution that appeared to work a month or so ago. Unfortunately, I cannot find it again and no new emails have been added to the index since that day (09/15/2010).
    I tried rebuilding the index (again). This process has removed all of the emails from the index that had been there after I applied the fix that seemed to work. I am continuing to research this problem in the hope that I will find that previous partial solution.
    It would be nice to get some feedback from Microsoft to let us know if this problem is being looked into. All of the solutions provided from Microsoft on these forums have failed to correct this long term problem.
    FYI: I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and Office Professional Plus 2010. These were fresh installs, not upgrades. After installation the instant search feature in Outlook was working, I do not know exactly when it stopped working.

  • How to convert Outlook PST files to Entourage MBOX

    I am migrating over to mac after my windows system has been corrupted.
    Luckily I had back-up of all my mails in a storage device. Outlook stored them as .pst files.
    What I need to do now is take those .pst files and convert them to .mbox files for Entourage 2008. 
    I have gone through some steps reading online but the were of no use.
    Please suggest some helpful solutions as i don't want to waste time blindly searching.
    Thank you

    An easy (and free) way to transfer email from Outlook (Windows) to Mail (Mac) is to use an IMAP account (e.g. Gmail) as an intermediary between the two. It's simple and reliable but can be a bit slow for large amounts of email. Expect over an hour per Gigabyte.
    Enable IMAP on your email account.
    In Windows, open Outlook and add your IMAP account.
    Copy the folders (don't drag and drop them) from your PST file into your IMAP account. Drag and drop will move (not copy) your folders and you may lose mail if the communication is interrupted during the move.
    On the Mac, open Mail and add your IMAP account.
    If you want your mail stored on your Mac, you can copy it from your IMAP account to mailboxes created by selecting "On My Mac" as the location in the new mailbox dialog inside the Mail application.
    Other alternative
    You can also use the software approach to solve your problem.
    Various softwares/applications/third party tools are available online.
    One I am aware of is Pst Converter pro.
    Hope this helps
    thank you
