Microsoft Outlook 2000 is one of the oldest versions of Outlook email client. The Outlook 2000 version was bundled with MS Office 2000 as well as Exchange Server 2000 and is still used by users, who are yet to upgrade to the newer versions. In the same line, Outlook 2002, the next Outlook version was a program of Office 2002/XP. Both these versions of Outlook use ANSI formatted OST and PST files. Along with limited character set support, the ANSI format has many other limitations.

The ANSI format has another major drawback of limiting the maximum PST file size to 2 GB. Hence, in case of MS Outlook 2002 and 2000, the PST can grow up to a maximum size of 2 GB. When the PST file grows beyond this permissible size, Outlook flashes an error message as - ".pst has reached maximum size limit". In many cases, users do not give importance to the error and the PST size goes on increasing. Eventually, this results in the corruption of the PST file and all your precious mails become completely inaccessible.
