You cannot recover the email that has gone over 2gb if it is in the older format. There is a tool from Microsoft which will allow the file to be opened, but it simply cuts the file down to size. Everything over 2gb will be lost. <br />

Hi Tahussle,<br />
<br />
How reliable is that tool?<br />
<br />
As far as I know, that tool split the pst in 2 files, is that correct?<br />
<br />
Once the PST has been splited, is there a risk of losing data?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hi There's always a potential of loosing data when carrying out any data manipulation . I would take a backup before doing anything else. <br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
One of my CEOs, is having some issues opening a PST file over than 2 GB.<br />
<br />
As far as I know, PST files have a size limit of about 2gb and what has happened is his PST file has exceeded this size and outlook cannot handle it<br />
<br />
Is there a way to recover all emails from that PST, or opened it with another tool?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance
