Splitting PST file

Hi Team,
i am having microsoft outlook 2010. my pst file size is 10 Gb. i have splitted my pst file as yearly basis. Since my pst file is too large.
My question is .. even though after i splitted my current pst file. The size of the current pst file is in same size that is 10 GB. and also i am able to see the splitted file which has some size.
could you please some one help me?

Hi there
Size of 10 gb of any pst file is undoubtedly critically large and splitting is very good approach to make the size smaller so as to protect the file from getting corrupt and making your outlook perform better.
I would like to recommend SysTools split pst tool here (www.splitpst.com) which actually is an interesting utility to divide pst file into smaller part and if you are not satisfied by splitting pst file by year, why don't you
try other way to split pst files like you can split it by date, size or by folders in pst file. 
The pst splitter one i found here http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Split-PST-File-in-Outlook-53dc8dc4 seems quite worth using as a alternative
to compaction.

  • PST Files 50GB from Mailbox Export

    Hi There,
    I've archived some mail to PST but the PST file is 75GB.
    I don't want to try and open it in Outlook as I'm concerned that due to the 50GB file limit the file may become corrupt in the process.
    Is there a way to split this file into two halves safely?   or a no-risk way of opening it in Outlook 2013 and moving half the data into another PST?

    There are PST splitters out there and a quick Google search for PST Split Software will get you several options.
    I don't know of any way to open a PST file that has exceeded its limit and historically once you get close to that limit things get a bit shaky and once you are past the limit it has always resulted in corruption.
    I think your best thing to do would be to re-export it by date range to keep it under 50GB OR use a 3rd party utility like our DigiScope that can do PST overflow, i.e. when limit is close we spawn a new PST so you end up with Jon Smith.PST, John Smith1.PST
    etc.
    If you try one of the splitters I would definitely only work with a COPY of the PST and protect the master copy.
    Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
    2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

  • 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?

  • Unable to open pst file error details access to the path is denied

    When doing the mailboximport i am getting the following error : unable to open pst file error details access to the path is denied.

  • Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

    I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
    I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
    Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
    Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
    that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
    OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
    scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
    Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
    of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
    I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
    info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
    Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

    Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
    I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
    problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
    who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
    So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
    (the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
    Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
    that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
    (For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
    email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
    Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
    and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ... 
    why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
    the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
    These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
    me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
    to spot said critical attachment.
    Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
    basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
    Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
    me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
    Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
    Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
    The whole .doc .vs 
    docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
    Bulleting function grayed out
    Spelling errors not highlighted
    Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
    Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
    Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
    Track Changes not accurately recorded
    These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
    This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
    To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
    “Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not. 
    I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
    awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

  • Unable to load up .pst files

    We are running older hardware, Dell Optiplex 780's.  They were all running XP and we used CM2012 to push out Windows 7 to each of them.   The OSD process, in a nutshell, does this.
    Format C:, install windows 7, apply 780 drivers from Dell, join domain, install apps like Office 2010 and some others.
    Once the machine is built you can log in and everything works.  We are running
    Office 2010.     Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook etc...  But when you try to load up any .PST file it hangs and never loads the file.   We've waited over 30 min and it never loads.  We have tried both from a network
    share and having the .PST local and it still will not load.
    What should I look at to fix this?  Could the Dell Optiplex 780 be so old it does not fully support Office 2010?

    Hi,
    First of all, please note Network Stored PST files are not recommended by Microsoft back in the very early age, please read the details in this blog below:
    Network Stored PST files ... don't do it!
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspx
    As for your local .pst files, here are some suggestions:
    1. Run Scanpst.exe to repair the possible damage in the .pst file, if you are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 as you mentioned, this application can be found in the following path:
    <disk drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 (32-bit version of Windows)
    or <disk drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office(x86)\Office14 (64-bit version of Windows)
    For reference, we can read this Microsoft KB:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
    2. Move the .pst file to a new location on local, check if then the .pst file can be accessed or opened. Please make sure the user has the proper permission of the folder in which the .pst file is stored. Please also make sure Outlook is run as
    administrator.
    If you get any error messages and other details that may be helpful, please kindly let me know.

  • Script to open all PST files in a directory and open with Outlook.

    Hi!  I am looking for a script that opens all PST files in a directory, opens it in outlook, and writes to a log to see if it completed correctly.  I'm new to VBscript and just want to see how the script would be written.
    Thank you!!

    Thank you for all the input!  JRV, I went through the repository and couldn't find anything about importing into Outlook.  I will use it for future references and I appreciate you directing me there.
    Grant, I need to be able to locate all PST files within a directory, not point it to a specific pst.  I also need it written to a log file.  Here is what I have...Don't laugh, I'm very new...

  • Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

    While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding.  We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
    Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence.  We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
    How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user?  I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
    again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
    We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

    Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias.  i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
    "\\server\share\jsmith"
    "\\server\share\tjones"
    "\\server\share\rsmith"
    "\\server\share\bspears"
    "\\server\share\mmouse"
    And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
    foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
    If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder. 
    "Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
    Error details: Could
     not find a part of the path '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.

  • How can I enable iTunes Sync to move deleted to the Trash in Outlook instead of directly deleting from my PST file?

    I use several Apple Devices: iPhone 3GS (yes, archaic), iPhone 4S, iPad, and iPad 2 for personal, and work.
    I use iTunes with MS Outlook 2010 to store all my information (e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes, etc).
    When any information changes, it is updated throughout my devices. There has been a time or two when I have accidently deleted information. I want to make sure that I can undelete the information at those times.
    When I 'Allow' iTunes to delete the information, it does not move to Trash in Outlook and instead it removes it completely from Outlook. This removes any possibility to restore the infomation at a future date if the need arises.
    This is a very important function which I miss, granular notification of every change that will take place and the ability to stop each change; when I used Blackberry Desktop with my Torch.
    Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the issu? My work around, currently, is to copy the existing PST file to a different locaion. Then, if I need to restore, I would just open the PST file and copy the item(s) back into the working PST file. This is really quite cumbesome.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,

  • How do I add my Outlook PST files from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro?

    Sorry newbie MBP user here I did a search but couldn't find anything, although I would guess others who have migrated over from the windows world might have had this question:
    Just purchased a new MBP w/Retina display and I before I wipe my current windows laptop, I want to move all of my saved PST email files over to my new MBP as well as my saved documents.
    I have saved them on a USB thumb drive but dont know how to move them over to my MBP and save them in my mail file as well as my docs into?
    TIA!

    i tired to import this new folder to mac mail, it was giving a message that will be discplayed under folder name "Import", but unfortunately, there was nothing added.

  • How can I load a .pst file to an instrument in logic express 9?

    I have some instruments plug-in settings from my old computer that I used with logic, and I want to load them into logic so I can use them on the computer I moved them to. On any instrument I try (ES1, ES2, EXS24 and the rest) it won't allow me to load the files (.pst files) and I know I should be able to. Am I just going about it wrong or using the wrong instrument? How can I load these files so that I can use the instruments again?

    Pages is not in a format compatible for what you want to do.
    After you save a a Pages document, go to File > Export > and choose either Word or Pdf format. You can also choose RTF or PlainText too. Then you can email to yourself or others.
    Good Luck.

  • 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.

  • Import multiple PST files for a single user into archive mailbox is failing

    Most of our users that have PST files have between 2 and 10 separate PST files named by either subject or year.
    I am trying to find a way to automate using New-MailboxImportRequest to import ALL of the psts found within a user's shared folder.
    I found a script that others says should work, but it doesn't work for me.
    One of the problems is that that the commands are spread over several lines.  I have tried entering it line by line but it still errors out.
    First, how can I run a multi-line command?
    Second, can anyone see an error in the script below?
    I do change the server name, share name and mailbox alias to the actual values before running.
    I am trying the script below and it fails:
    $filepath=”\\server\usersfileshare”
    $items=get-childitem -path $filepath -filter *.pst
    foreach($item in $items)
    {$location=$filepath+”\”+$item.Name
