You can't have a .PST file that's larger than 2gb. once you
hit 2gb you won't be able to use outlook any more. Ask
Microsoft technical support for the oversized PST and OST
Crop Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q296
088&

May wrap cut and paste the url

which will trim the file down but you will lose the messages
you have to delete. Alternatively try using any hex editor
to remove a few characters from the middle of the file to
bring the size under 2gb. on ce you can open the file again
use tools | mailbox cleanup to archive some messages to a
different file.

PREVENT HUGE FILES

There is a hox fix for outlook 2002 that stops your .PST
file reaching te 2gb limit. When it hits 1.82gb you won't
get any new mail, instead you will just see a warning about
the file size. you will find it in the October 2001 update
at office.Microsoft.com
