Answer: As Outlook stores all the mails and other email components in a .pst file, gradually the size of the .pst file grows. In general, the PST file has a maximum permissible size limit. In MS Outlook 2002 and previous versions, the recommended maximum PST size is 2 GB. In case of Outlook 2007 and 2003, the size limit is 20 GB, whereas in 2010, it can be increased up to 50 GB. However, at times, the size of PST file grows beyond 50 GB, leading to corruption of PST file and inaccessibility of mailbox items. Also, large Outlook PST file slows down in terms of normal operations such as sending, opening, archiving mails, etc. To avoid such situations, you need to split your large Outlook .pst file into multiple smaller .pst files.

Answer: Stellar Splitter for Outlook provides two different options to split single .pst file as well as multiple .pst files in a single operation.

Answer:
Using Stellar Splitter for Outlook software, you can split single .pst file as well as multiple .pst files in a single operation.

The 'Split Single File' option of the software provides 4 different criteria ('Split By Date', 'Split By Size', 'Split By Mail ID' and 'Select & Split') for selecting a large .pst file and splitting it into smaller ones.

The 'Split Multiple Files' option of the software provides 2 different criteria ('Split By Time' and 'Split By Size') for selecting multiple .pst files and splitting them into smaller.pst files.

In both options, you just need to select the .pst file and choose the criteria for splitting. The user manual of the software describes the splitting processes in detail.

Answer: On the main interface of the software, select the option, 'Split Single File'. A new window opens, in which there is an option 'Find PST File'. Click 'Find PST File' button to list all the .pst files in your computer with their locations. You can choose the required .pst file from the list and split it as per the desired splitting criterion.

Stellar Splitter for Outlook software splits large PST files into multiple smaller PST files to help speed up Outlook performance.
