Mainly the information and other data are stored in the PST files.

By default, the PST files can increase the files size by 2.GB in Outlook 2007 and up to 50GB in Outlook 2010, Outlook 2017 and in Outlook 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\">When Outlook PST files get <span style=\"color: #333333;\">oversized,<\/span> in such condition it shows errors like:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\"><b>Reported error<\/b><\/span><b> <\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b><strong>0x00040820 \u2013<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">This error may appear while sending or receiving the emails through the specific account in Outlook 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\"><b>File Access Error \u2013<\/b> This error is shown by Outlook when the PST file gets corrupted by being oversized, Outlook shows the error \u201c.pst cannot be accessed\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\"><b>Background Synchronization errors \u2013 <\/b>This error is shown by Outlook while mailbox synchronizes from one Outlook version to another version and it does not match with the newer version of PST files.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\"><b>How can large Size PST files issues can be avoided<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\">The main reason behind the corruption of large size PST files is an excessive storage file or attachments that are not checked as per the limit of PST files which is 2GB in the Outlook 2002.
