Exported PST greater that 2GB appears to be corrupt

[Andrew]

When moving office I used exmerge to export user mailboxes. One of them was
over 2GB and now I cannot import it because it appears to be corrupt. Does
anyone know of any way or reliable tools to resolve this please?

Thanks,

Andrew

Use ScanPST.exe to look for errors. You may have to run it several times. You
should also compact the PST as well or move some of the contents into a
newer, smaller PST.

Note that the PST size limit of 2 GB is for Outlook 2002 and older versions,
Outlook 2003 and up use a different format that allows the PST to grow
upwards of 20 GB. Older versions of Outlook may experience difficulty when
the PST hits about 1.5 GB or higher.
