Outlook Stats of Data Management and PST File Corruption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Operating systems and core applications become the majority stakeholders of storage space on the computers. The storage space for the applications such as Outlook takes a backseat. With Outlook\u2019s evolution from a 2 GB PST<\/strong> file size limit to PST files with no size limit, an oversized PST file can become a risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our survey found that people store their important data on Outlook, but they don't know how to manage it effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, more than 50%<\/strong> of the people we surveyed didn't know the size of their Outlook data file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, close to 40% <\/strong>of Outlook users have experienced data loss or other problems due to PST file corruption. Microsoft provides a free Inbox Repair Tool<\/strong> to fix these problems, but the survey found that nearly 80%<\/strong> of users are not even aware of the tool's existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 20% <\/strong>of users who are aware of ScanPST<\/strong>, only 13%<\/strong> knew where to find it. When asked how they fix PST files, only 8%<\/strong> said they had used ScanPST, and 5%<\/strong> said they had used a third-party PST repair software<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
