I am planning to move all my Outlook data to a new system. My PST file has grown quite large over the years, and I am worried it might slow down the migration process or even cause issues while transferring. I want to know the best way to compress my PST file before moving it. Is there any method in Outlook to reduce the file size, or should I use a third-party tool for better results? Please suggest the most reliable and safe way to do this.

Whenever you think of transferring your email account to a new system, it is important to take the Outlook PST (Personal Storage Table) file along with it. But often the size of the PST file becomes very large, which can make transferring it difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, it is a wise move to compress your PST file before shifting to the new system.

I had to reduce the size of my Outlook PST file so that I could transfer it to the new system easily. Then I used the DataVare Outlook PST Compact Expert Tool, and it proved to be very effective. With the help of this tool, I easily compressed my PST file without any data loss. The user interface is also very simple, which is beneficial even for new users.

Supports all Outlook versions
Option to remove duplicate emails
Batch processing facility
Secure and fast compression process

If you also want to shrink your PST file, then definitely try it. A trial version is also available.
