When an Outlook PST file becomes too large (e.g., above 10–20 GB), it can cause slow performance, corruption, or even data loss. To improve data management, users frequently attempt to split PST files; however, the technique employed has a significant impact on data efficiency, accuracy, and safety.
Risks of Manually Splitting PST Files
When PST files are split manually, Outlook needs to be used to export mail items or create new PST and move data by manually. There are various issues with this approach
A Time-consuming Procedure
In addition to dragging or exporting calendars, contacts and emails, users must manually create several PST files.
It can take hours or even days to divide a large mailbox appropriately.
High Risk of Data Corruption or Loss
Human error is more likely to occur with manual procedures, such as incomplete exports, missing folders, or data overwriting.
If the PST file is already too large, Outlook can freeze or crash.
No Size Control or Uniform Split
The ability to divide PST files by size, date, or folder is not a capability that Outlook comes with.
You are unable to limit the final file sizes or guarantee uniform distribution.
No Error Handling or Backup Automatically
Without any built-in safety checks, manual dividing makes recovery more difficult in the event of an emergency.
Advantages of Using a Professional PST Splitter Tool
