[mso] Re: Outlook 2000 personalfolders.pst full, what to do?

AFAIK the 2 meg (don't you mean gig?) barrier is not dependent on where the 
file is.  It's a simple limitation of the software.

And yes, I believe that 2003 has a much greater limit.

You might be able to recover it by loading it in 2003, but you might not.  I 
seem to recall that the file actually gets corrupted when it hits the limit. 
Try it, though.  You might be lucky.

Failing that, you'll need to regress it to a backup from when it was below 
the limit.

If you don't have a backup, do a Google search.  There are repair tools out 
there.  Not sure if any of them are share- or free-ware though.

Regards, Dave S
