Being the part of MS office suite and compatible with business environment Outlook enjoys enormous popularity. But one major problem that almost all Outlook users encounter while using the Outlook mailing client is its size limitation. In older version of Outlook i.e ANSI the size limit was 2 GB. Earlier this limitation was enough for users but with increasing dependency of users on desktop based mailing even the size of mail box also expanded. This leads to the need of large storing space in Microsoft Outlook mail box. To solve the users’ problem pertaining to the size limitation of ANSI PST version of Outlook, Microsoft launched its Outlook advance version that has Unicode PST file.


This Advance version was developed with size limitation of 20 GB that later on upgraded with the facility of extending the limitation to 50 GB as well. To some extent effort of Microsoft proved fruitful to user but the problem remained same for those users whose dependency on mailing client was lot and need to store very heavy attachments in mail box. The reason being, as the size of PST increases its operation automatically slows down. The problem is more common with Unicode PST version, because of 20 GB size limitation as mailing client support more storage of mail in mailbox that makes the PST file heavy which ultimately leads to latency in transaction of mail.
