To split a large Outlook PST file into multiple PST files, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and create new PST files:

  • Go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings.
  • Under the “Data Files” tab, click “Add” to create one or more new PST files where you'll move the data.
2. Manually move emails or folders:

  • In your large PST file, select emails or entire folders.
  • Right-click and choose “Move Folder” or “Move Items.”
  • Select the new PST file as the destination.
3. Repeat the process:

  • Continue moving data in chunks (e.g., by date or folder) until you’ve organized your content across multiple PST files.
4. Optional – Use archive feature:

  • Go to File > Tools > Clean Up Old Items.
  • Use AutoArchive to move older emails into a separate PST based on date.
5. For automated splitting:

  • If you want to split a large Outlook PST file quickly or without manual effort, consider using third-party PST splitter tools. These allow for automated division by size, date, folder, or sender.
This approach helps manage Outlook performance and avoids data corruption issues due to oversized PST files.
