Outlook.pst

[Tim]

My outlook.pst is at 2.065+gig, which appears to not allow
the file to be repaired using scanpst.exe. I am unable to
open the person folders to delete/clean out messages to
reduce the size to allow the scanpst.exe to run and am
stuck in a loop. Is there a way to allow access to the
folders to delete/clean the emails.

Hi - you'll need the PST crop utility - back up your file first so you have
a safe copy in case something goes wrong. Note - you may lose some data....

Do people NEVER archive or delete old emails?

You would be surprised, or maybe not, that people actually use the deleted
items folder for storage! Getting them to empty it is like pulling teeth -
until you ask them if they keep their lunch in the trash too, for
safekeeping.
