Fix Oversized PST File
Oversized PST Files
Oversized PST files can be a real problem. Due to limitations in earlier versions of Outlook and limitations on the Windows filesystem, you could only have imap accounts with a maximum size of 2GB.
Once you reach this limit, your Outlook just stops receiving email. Everything seems to work and you won’t receive any error messages. What you will notice after a while is that you are not receiving any email. Essentially your PST file is locked. It won’t work again until you either recreate a new imap account, or split the oversized file.
It can be difficult to recreate the account as you may need to delete messages off the actual server.
