Description:

PST and OST files are the storage files used by Outlook to hold all the e-mails for a given account. However, they have a known size limitation of 2GB's. Once a storage file surpasses that limit, it becomes virtually unusable and very problematic. This is an issue that has plagued Microsoft for years, but was never addressed, which was shortsighted on their part. However, in 2010 they corrected that by finally releasing this tool which allows you to split files that have surpassed their useful limit into smaller chunks.
