    Hi Sameer,

    If the inbox size limit is crossed and emails are bouncing back in Microsoft Outlook, then you should create a backup immediately otherwise this can cause corruption in Outlook Data File.

    There are several techniques which help to create backup and reduce the size limit of Outlook like:

    Delete Unwanted Emails: If you found unwanted or bulk of useless emails, then delete it first from the inbox.

    Archiving: Through this option, user can create the archive of PST data file and access it for further use.

    Compact: This option is one of the best and easy way to reduce the email size, for more: http://www.wikihow.com/Reduce-or-Compact-the-Size-...

    Export: If you found emails more important in Outlook inbox, then simply export the PST file and even you can save it to the external drive.

    Compact process is used to release occupied memory in Outlook data file.You can execute this operation manually but it has certain limit towards size reduction. Experts are suggested that advanced compact software is more useful for such kind of job. To know how a compaction procedure works with a large PST file, read at:
