Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier versions limit the size of personal folder (PST) 2 GB pst when reached or exceeded this limit, you can not open or download any increase or you can not add new data. This so-called problem of large files PST.

Outlook is not structured in such a way as to preserve the documents have not been able to gain access to the PST. However, Microsoft provides a tool for external pst2gb on a temporary basis, it can recover files working condition. Nevertheless, under certain circumstances, this tool will not be able to restore files. Despite the fact that the success of the reconstruction process, some data will be truncated and lost.

Microsoft also announced Service Pack so that when the PST approach limit 2GB, Outlook can not add new data. This mechanism is to some extent, can be prevented PST files are very large. However, once the limit is reached, it is difficult to do anything for you, such as sending / receiving e-mails, notes, a number of appointments and so on, if not remove large amounts of data from PST files and compact to reduce the its size. This is very annoying, when the growth of Outlook.

Because Microsoft Outlook 2003, a new PST file format to use, it supports Unicode and do not have a size of 2 Go Therefore, if you use Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 to create a new PST file format of Unicode, you do not have to worry too much problems.

Solution :-

1.If your version of Microsoft Outlook 2003 or higher installed on your computer, you oversized PST files can be converted into the new Outlook 2003 format of Unicode, as well as the limitation of 2 GB is not enough. This method.
2.Si you do not have Outlook 2003 or later, you can divide the PST too many small files. Each file contains data in the source file, PST, but it is less than 2 GB, and independently of the others, so that you can gain access to Outlook 2002 or below, without any problems. This method requires a little uncomfortable for you to manage multiple PST files to separate operations.

Technology - The fact that Word continues to manage the display of HTML in Outlook 2010 has created a petition, supported by Twitter. Faced with tens of thousands of subscribers, Microsoft has decided to defend himself.

"Outlook is broken. Repair it. "That is what we read in large characters on the site fixoutlook.org, a page devoted to the decision to keep Microsoft Word as an engine to display HTML-formatted emails in Outlook 2010.

Catch on the support, the authors of this page show the display of emails has not changed since Outlook 2000 and Word is the worst software to display HTML emails. They also explain that emails created in Outlook display poorly in other software.

To boost its petition, fixoutlook.org created an account on Twitter and there are already over 20 000 users rallied to their cause.

Until now deaf in the campaign, Microsoft has finally decided to react. On the official blog of the firm, William Kennedy, Vice-President in charge of the Office, justifies the choice to keep Word as display engine.

Also catch on the support, said that the usefulness of Word is especially in the creation of complex emails. It also explains that there is no standard HTML format, showing that Word is solely responsible for the display issues.

Delighted to have a response from Microsoft, the authors of the campaign immediately responded, pointing out that the root of the problem is not displaying emails, but how Word creates emails in HTML format.

Outlook 2010 continues to return to Word

In contrast, a standard Australian activist geageerd, and in such a way that there is considerable turmoil arose on Twitter. According to Dave Greiner of The Email Standards Project is clear from an early preview version that Outlook 2010 the same errors in the rendering of html as its predecessor.

Reason for this is that Microsoft is maintaining the engine of Word, which is much smaller than the rendering engine, for example IE8. The mail rendering engine used since Outlook 2007. Critics call it a huge mistake, because that engine is very limited in the creation of HTML pages. This is a limitation for people who want to prepare extended formatted mails. Moreover, in html emails are not displayed correctly in Outlook.

Greiner has therefore a Twitter action with its website set up Microsoft in an attempt to change its mind to. While the preview version of Outlook 2010 is not yet officially published, and Microsoft had not yet out that the Word engine maintenance, Redmond has already posted a response.

It's a feature, not a bug

In that blog post shows one of the heads of the Office division of Microsoft, William Kennedy, that are just feel extremely suitable for html rendering. Tools such as SmartArt and styles in Word to "Power of the Word in Outlook," says Kennedy. He criticizes the work of Greiner, according to him a maker of software for email marketing, and states that "there is no widely accepted consensus within the sector on which subset of html used for interoperability in e-mails."


The second reason for this choice is that the engine Word much less susceptible to attacks because it does not run Web Scripting. Thus, Kennedy or implied that the security of Internet Explorer right in that area greatly to be desired. How Greiner to preview the software that came his test, have not known.
