Recover Outlook 2000 PST file using PST Repair Software
Outlook is an application which is active most of the time when an user’s PC is running. There is constant synchronization of folders that takes place which results in receiving of new emails. All the data that is received is stored on a single file with a .pst extension called the Personal Storage Folder. The Personal Storage Folder better known as the PST file in Outlook is similar to a database which consists of complete data related to Outlook. It not only maintains data regarding emails, but also other data like contacts, notes, tasks etc. Like a database file, the PST file too increases in size and is dynamic in nature.
Outlook accesses all the data from this PST file to display to the user. Unlike in Outlook Express where data related to Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items etc, are stored in separate DBX folders, Outlook makes use of a single file to store the data. As the amount of data received in Outlook keeps increasing, the size of the PST file too keeps increasing. Outlook gives the user an option to compact the PST file in order to save the disk space and also improve the efficiency of Outlook.
However there are some issues related to PST file which often results in loss of important or confidential data from Outlook. The issues are found to be more in number especially with people who make use of Outlook 2000. This is because the older version of Outlook has limited capabilities as compared to the newer ones. One of the major issues with an Outlook 2000 PST file is found to be the limit in the maximum size of the PST file which is 2GB. This size limitation results in Outlook getting slower and sluggish when the PST file reaches the 2GB size and may eventually result in corruption of the PST file.
Besides this, there are also times when the PST file could get corrupted due to various other reasons. Corruption of the header of the PST file in Outlook 2000 could also result in loss of data including emails, contacts, attachments etc. Not closing the Outlook application in a proper manner could lead to corruption of the PST file. There are also instances when a PST file which is shared online by multiple users could get corrupted due to frequent editing.
