How to repair a pst file damaged due to 2 GB file size limit?

Did you exceed 2GB pst file size limit and are you not able to access your Outlook emails?

When we face such problem, most of us first try to delete emails to reduce the size of the pst file and secondly try to use the Microsoft Inbox Repair Tool, called scanpst.exe to repair the oversized pst file problem. Unfortunately none of these tricks work.

Are you disappointed!

Need not worry, using a pst recovery tool your lost emails can be recovered. It’s essential to have certain basic knowledge about Microsoft Outlook to overcome such problems.

Maximum PST file size in Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier versions is limited to 2GB. Whenever your .pst file reaches or exceeds this limit, you will not be able to use the .pst file. Once the folder size reaches or goes beyond that size limit the file will not be usable even if you delete items. At such situations you face what is called the oversized PST file problem.

Usual Corrupt PST File Error Messages we come across are:

  • “Outlook.pst can not be accessed – 0×80040116″
  • “An unknown error has occurred. 0×80040119″
  • “pst has reached maximum size limit”
  • “OL2000: Unable to Use Your Personal Folder File if it Exceeds the 2 GB Size Limit”

In fact, Microsoft doesn’t have a way that can help to solve the oversized PST file problem adequately. The only solution to repair 2GB pst file is to use Remo Recover Outlook (pst) software. The software reads the damaged .pst file, identifies and restores all the found information in a new .pst file. The new .pst file is similar to the original damaged .pst file. Messages are recovered with attachments, if they have any.

Hence, Remo Recover Outlook (pst) software efficiently recovers messages, folders, appointments, meeting requests, contacts, tasks, task requests, journals and notes from .pst files. Outlook mail is recovered in plain text, HTML and RTF format. This Outlook recovery software has advanced support to recover large attachments and embedded HTML messages. It also supports recovery of password protected .pst files, plus both compressed encryption and high encryption .pst files.
