The update for Outlook 2007: April 13, 2007
Outlook 2007 can be pretty slow if your PST files are large. Apparently Microsoft is aware of this issue and the company released an update that should help to rectify this issue:
This update fixes a problem in which a calendar item that is marked as private is opened if it is found by using the Search Desktop feature. The update also fixes performance issues that occur when you work with items in a large .pst file or .ost file.

Where is fine tool-ost convertor, is a good way to recover data from *.ost format and convert it to files with *.pst extension,permit to convert *.ost file to *.pst extension, that can be easily read by any email client, compatible with Microsoft Outlook, read even corrupted files and you do not need to put any modifications to recovery process,made to recover your data from *.ost files,ost convertor to pst will never modify source files, so, if you are not satisfied with this program, you can always try to return back to the beginning of process.

You can use search folders in Outlook 2003/2007 to track large emails and reduce PST size
