(1) Outlook takes considerable time to load.

(2) When you switch between the folders (for say, from Inbox to Sent Items), Outlook hangs momentarily.

(3) You find issues when importing or transferring a large sized PST file.

Also, a large PST is susceptible to corruption as compared to small-sized PST.

Solution

(1) An Outlook user using IMO mode needs to manage the PST file size regularly. Following are some basic solutions to reduce the overall size of file:

(2) Delete the undesired and unnecessary e-mails as soon as you notice them. You also need to compact the file as PST is a database and deleting the messages will have no impact on its size. To compact the file, click File | Data File Management and select your file, click ‘Settings’ and then ‘Compact Now’.

(3) Archive your PST. You can archive the original PST for its old e-mails or on the basis of senders’ e-mail IDs.

Split the PST file. For this, you need to use a third-party Split PST software.

A commercial PST File Splitter is an easy-to-use application that can split a large-sized PST file, safely and easily. These applications use effective and safe procedures and divide the file into smaller PST files, by creating new files, and leaving the original file as-is.
