"Allow upgrades to large tables" extends the limit of PST

MORE INFORMATION

Selecting this personal folders option causes the headers of the .pst file to be permanently updated.

NOTE: Earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange and Outlook may be able to access a .pst file that has been updated to allow the large table format. However, this is not supported and may cause instability and corruption in the .pst file.
