Split an oversized OST file into multiple PST files
Outlook OST files contain a full mirror of mailbox data such as emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes. Over time, as mailbox activity increases, the OST file can grow significantly in size. This can lead to performance slowdowns, sync issues, and in some cases, Outlook crashes—especially when the file size approaches or exceeds the application’s limits.
To keep Outlook stable and ensure data remains accessible, it becomes essential to break down large OST files into smaller PST files. This makes data easier to manage, supports better organization, and simplifies tasks like backup and migration—particularly when dealing with older or archived mailbox content.
EdbMails OST to PST Converter offers an efficient way to handle this task with accuracy. It extracts data from large OST files and helps you split them into multiple PSTs without compromising folder structure or data integrity. This step-by-step guide walks you through the process, ensuring a smooth and secure outcome.
Practical scenarios of the OST file split feature in EdbMails
- Large email archives: Organizations that rely on MS Outlook for email communication often accumulate large volumes of email data over time. Storing this data in a single large OST file can make it challenging to manage effectively. By using EdbMails, organizations can split the OST file into multiple PST files, allowing for better organization, easier management, and enhanced performance.
- Limited storage space: If you're facing limited storage space on your computer, managing large OST files can become challenging. Splitting the OST file into multiple PST files allows you to export and manage your email data more efficiently, helping you avoid storage constraints while keeping your Outlook performance intact.
- Faster data retrieval: Converting a large OST file into multiple PST files makes it easier to retrieve specific data. By organizing the data into smaller, more structured files, you can quickly search and access the information you need, improving both efficiency and usability.
- Compliance requirements: Certain organizations may have compliance regulations that require email data to be stored in specific formats or within certain file size limits. By splitting the OST file into multiple PST files with EdbMails, organizations can easily meet these compliance requirements while maintaining efficient data management.
