| Technical Details |
PST file formats have two types which are based on the encoding. ANSI encoded PST files are generally older file formats, supported by Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier versions - these files have a maximum size limit of 2GB and do not support Unicode. The more modern file format is based on Unicode encoding and removes the file size limit and can reach a maximum size of 50GB. |
