'Split PST Files' has an advanced version The utility splits large PST files, as well as other storages, mailboxes, and Outlook/Exchange Server public folders into smaller parts. As a result, it creates new PST files and source data files, and storages remain unchanged.
MS Outlook uses PST (Personal Storage Table) file format to store your mails and other mailbox items. There is a limited size allocated to the PST file and if it exceeds that size limit, then the file becomes corrupt. MS Outlook uses two types of PST files; one is ANSI PST and the other is Unicode PST. The ANSI PST file format has a size limit of 2 GB and was used with MS Outlook 2002 and earlier versions. However, the Unicode PST file provides up to 20 GB size limit, which is used with MS Outlook 2003 and its later versions.
Now, from MS Outlook 2013 or higher versions, Microsoft increases the size limit of Unicode PST file up to 50 GB. All of these files will work well till the available space is used, but when it will be exceeded from the size limit, you may lose all your messages and other important items from your Outlook mail. The Unicode PST file usually has very fewer chances of getting corrupt because of its maximum size limit.
