Outlook Personal Folder File.
Appropriate program for file extension PST:
The .PST file extension is associated with Personal Folder Files, and contains all the data in Microsoft email programs, including addresses, e-mail folders, and everything else that Outlook 97, 2K or XP accumulates. Outlook becomes unstable when this file has nearly reached its 2GB limit. Scan your system to prevent and identify association errors.


Additional comments:
When outlook becomes unstable Outlook Personal Folder Files need to be shrunk by deleting all the items from all folders. Fortunately Microsoft has a free backup for PST files.
