Oversized PST

[ATC Elf]

I have a PST file, in Outlook 2002 format, that has reached over 2 GB in
size. I am now unable to open this PST file and retrieve information. I tried
running a mailbox repair and importing the info into the new pst format. If
anyone has an idea of how I can retrieve these e-mails it will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

*some* of the data back.

PST Splitter

In this case inbuilt Inbox Repair Tool won't work. Instead of that you need to run an inbuilt pst2gb.exe tool powered by Microsoft. The tool splits oversize PST file thus making it accessible to you again. Make sure you create a valid backup of Outlook PST before using this tool. However for sure shot splitting of PST file without any error use a reliable PST Splitter tool.
