Answer / khansaif.786

PST: Microsoft Outlook stores items in a personal-storage-
table (.pst) or off-line-storage-table (.ost) files that
are located on the local computer. Most commonly, the .pst
files are used to store archived items and the .ost files
to maintain off-line availability of the items.
ANSI format can support up to 2 GB limit. In Outlook 2003
and 2007, .pst files are created in the Unicode format and
have a default maximum size of 20 GB. Outlook 2010's
default maximum size has increased to 50GB.
