Outlook 2019 / Microsoft 365 - Outlook Sync Stopped Functioning

Microsoft Outlook stores data in .PST and .OST files with a maximum file size of 50GB.

Please ensure that you have enough disk space on your computer for at least 50GB.

Performance degradation occurs at 12GB or roughly 12,000 messages in a single folder.

We recommend keeping your Inbox clean by creating folders and moving messages you do not need to those folders.

Outlook will run optimally with an Inbox size of 4GB or less and approximately less than 1,000 messages.

Sometimes PST and OST files can become corrupt causing Outlook Sync to stop functioning.
