If you have large PST files and wish to split them into smaller portions, you have two options manually or with specialized software
Manual Method
Outlook does not offer a direct option to split PST files. However, you can create fresh PST files and then move or export objects based on year, folder or size. For example, navigate to File > Open & Export > Import/Export to export particular data ranges to new PST. Another alternative is to manually move folders or emails to a new PST file. While this works, it is time consuming and inefficient if you have a lot of huge PST to maintain
Automated method (recommended)
For large or automatic splitting, a third party solution is significantly more effective. The GainTools Split PST Software is an effective solution. This application splits numerous PST files at once without opening them in Outlook. You can organize by size (e.g., 2GB, 5GB), year, folder or specified date range. The utility supports both ANSI and Unicode PST and prevents data loss including emails, contacts, attachments and calendar entries
If you need speed and precision & automation using GainTools Split PST Software is the ideal option.
