In this case, Outlook is taking too long to respond. Thus, the first thing that you should check is the size of the Outlook data file.&nbsp;Over time, the size of the Outlook PST file becomes too large. As a consequence, it takes longer for users to open and access their Outlook account.&nbsp;Moreover, large PST files become prone to integrity issues and corruption. Thus, it can also be an issue of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/prevent-pst-file-corruption-useful-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corruption in PST Files<\/a>.<\/p><p>You can follow these steps to fix the &lsquo;data file personal folder was not closed properly&rsquo; error in Outlook 2007,<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Reduce the Size of PST File<\/h3><p>Most probably, the error is related to the oversized Personal Storage Tables or PST File. In that case, reduce the size of PST file and resolve the error. The steps are as follows,<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Start <strong>Outlook<\/strong> and go to the <strong>File<\/strong> tab.

The steps are as follows,<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Close MS Outlook and navigate to Outlook 2007: C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\<\/li><\/ul><p>You can also locate the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/inbox-repair-tool-outlook-scanpst.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inbox repair tool<\/a> in other Outlook versions.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Double-click on SCANPST.EXE program file to launch it<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"363\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/scanpst-to-repair-outlook-data-file.gif\" alt=\"Stellar\" class=\"wp-image-64502 apply-gradient-on-post-images\"><\/figure><\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Click the &lsquo;<strong>Browse&rsquo;<\/strong> button and choose the .PST file that requires repair<\/li><li>Click <strong>&lsquo;Start.&rsquo;<\/strong> The SCANPST.EXE utility will scan the .PST file and find errors<\/li><li>If there are errors detected during scanning, the program will display the &lsquo;Repair&rsquo; button<\/li><li>During the process, a backup file is created to avoid data loss.
