File Extension PST
In previous post, I have written about file extension SIG. Now I am going to write about File Extension PST. Files with File Extension PST are Personal Information Store Files. The files contain personal information used by Microsoft Outlook and Exchange; includes e-mail folders, contacts, addresses, and other data. Files with File Extension PST has a 2 GB limit and will cause Outlook to slow down when the file is close to the limit. Microsoft provides a program called the Exchange 2000 Tool: PST2GB that will reduce the file size of a PST file; however, the utility may truncate the file meaning some data will be lost, so you should make sure to back up the PST file first. Unlike the full version of Outlook, Outlook Express does not use PST files; however, Outlook Express can import PST data using the program’s Import feature.
PST itself stands for Personal Storage Table. As the name implies, File Extension PST is used for organizing, storing and accessing essential Microsoft mail messaging information - addresses, appointments, calendar items, contacts, e-mail, Inbox and notes. for organizing, storing and accessing essential Microsoft mail messaging information - addresses, appointments, calendar items, contacts, e-mail, Inbox and notes.
