I've used it without any bother, always backup first and the more RAM on the machine the better.

It's located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT on Win2k box.

The entire mailbox size is 1.5 gigs. Were you referring to the mailbox size or the .pst size. There isn't a limit on the mailbox size, right? So if all this is true, then the size of the .pst or mailbox should not be causing the problem. It's probably corrupted. Any ideas on other things I could try to fix the problem if it is in fact corrupted?

Close Outlook and re-open it and see if the messages are still there. They may have already been moved. Another thing to look at is the size of the pst file he's moving the messages to. Is it approaching 2GB? 2GB is the limit for a pst, but problems can start happening as soon as 1GB is reached sometimes. Ray at work p.s.
