Migrating from Outlook Express to MS Outlook use Microsoft Outlook Email Management Tools

Windows XP support has now been stopped by Microsoft, hence most people have started upgrading their old Windows machine to Windows 7 or 8. Most of the XP users were using Outlook Express as their email client, as it was a built-in program by Microsoft. Now people are supposed to use MS Outlook which comes with the MS Office package. Outlook Express understands DBX format, whereas MS Outlook works with PST files. In order to access your previous emails stored in OE, you need to convert DBX file into PST.

Merge or Combine Multiple Outlook PST files

Many users, usually professionals are found using multiple Email accounts, hence they manage multiple accounts and the mailbox data is stored in multiple PST files. This could be in a single computer or in different computers. If you are a service person, you must think again, even if you would be managing multiple email accounts (personal and official). So what would you do if you have multiple PST files and a day you are required to manage all your emails using a single account (this assumption is based on real facts that people discuss on the internet)?

Stop thinking of the scenarios as you need not worry about them. You can easily merge multiple PST files into one single PST file by following the steps mentioned. Whether you have 2 PST files, or 200 PST files (mostly seen in large Organisations), you can combine all the PST files easily.

Split large PST file into multiple files

Previously, in the older versions of MS Outlook, PST file was generated with a very small maximum storage limit of 2 GB. In the current versions of MS Outlook, the maximum storage limit of a PST file is 20 GB, except in Outlook 2013 (50 GB). Many people now do their transactions and a lot of other stuff online and every single transaction is done with an email confirmation. Though this email confirmation won’t make any difference, in big organizations, daily reporting and file sending through email is an integral part. The point is, if the maximum data limit of the PST file exceeds, the PST file will be corrupted. Even if the PST is about to reach its maximum limit, you might start facing several issues.

To prevent corruption and other issues due to PST maximum size limit, there is a reliable solution to split Outlook PST file into multiple files, just follow the instructions mentioned, and keep your crucial mailbox data safe.
