oversized PST file?

Question

how to recover my 5GB outlook PST file

to recover it, it's somehow corrupted, but in all cases, i need to be able to import the E-mails inside of it, and Microsoft does not support more than 2GB PST files

Answer 1

This a free option from Microsoft that will truncate your 5GB file into a 2GB file, but that amount of loss would likely be unacceptable.

If it's worth it to you, here's a $250 utility that will split the PST into multiple smaller files for you:

Answer 2

When you say recover, is it corrupted or is it too big for you to transport it?
