How to fix PST file size exceeds 2GB on Outlook?

Description of how to fix PST file size exceeds 2GB in Outlook.


PST file size limitation problem has to face Microsoft Outlook's old version. When a PST file is full of his space and reached its maximum size limit, you will see the error of this type of message: “xxxx.pst cannot be accessed – 0x80040116”. OR “Errors have been detected in the file xxxx.pst. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool”.

When you try to a new msg or any item to a PST file during the adding process, the PST file reached out of the 2GB file size. Then you will see error messages, such as:

“The file could not be added to the folder. The action could not be completed”.

“The file xxxx.pst has reached its maximum size. To reduce the amount of data in this file, select some items that you no longer need, then permanently (shift + del) delete them”.

“Task ‘Microsoft Exchange Server’ reported an error (0x00040820):’ Errors in background synchronization. In most cases, further information is available in a synchronization log in the Deleted Items folder.'”

“Can’t copy the item”.
