Since how long have you been using Microsoft Outlook client? Have you ever confronted the PST file size limit issue? I\u2019m sure you have! There\u2019s everything great about Outlook email client, its features or performance. But one thing that really irritates me is the Outlook PST reached maximum size. Due to a fixed PST file size limit, I can only store Outlook mailbox content up to a specific size. I\u2019ll discuss the Outlook mailbox size limit later in this post. Also, I will show you how to increase Outlook mailbox size in order to get more storage space.<\/p>\n

\nEvery user knows Outlook has created PST files. It has a default maximum size limitation depending on the Outlook version. In the older versions, 2002 or earlier, Outlook opts for the ANSI<\/strong> format to save PST files. The new versions of Outlook use Unicode<\/strong> format to save PST files. There is a big difference between the ANSI PST file and the Unicode PST file. An ANSI PST file has a maximum 2 GB size limitation. In simple words, an ANSI PST file can\u2019t store more than 2 GB of mailbox content. If we talk about the Unicode PST file, it has a maximum of 20 GB to 50 GB size limitation. It provides more storage space than ANSI PST files.<\/p>\n

Need to Increase Outlook Mailbox Size<\/h2>\n

In today\u2019s world, most Outlook users opt for the latest versions, 2003 or later. If you\u2019re using the upgraded version of Outlook, you should know about the needs. Though a Unicode PST file gives you enough storage space, sometimes it\u2019s not enough for some Outlook users. There\u2019s a need to increase Outlook mailbox size for those Outlook users who receive a large number of emails every day.<\/p>\n

Just think you\u2019re using Outlook 2010, which has a maximum 20 GB PST file size limit. Generally, 20 GB of storage space looks enough. You receive thousands of email messages every day, which include heavy attachments. Other than this, you create notes, tasks, journals, etc. All these items are stored in your PST file. One day you notice that the PST file is about to reach its maximum size. It might be very harmful.<\/p>\n
