Default Having a problem in Outlook 2000.

Hey all.

I've got a system that has two users using Outlook 2000 for there e-mail,
and one of the users outlook.pst is saying "Outlook.pst can not be
accessed." I have read about the .pst having a 2GB limit in size, and I have
ran several scanpst.exe scans and 2gbpst.exe as well with no luck, I've done
several antivirus and spyware scans with little to no help at all.

So I'm asking what else am I missing.

John

"with no luck"
What did these tools report back to you?

In case it is damaged beyond repair either restore from backup or start with
a clean profile.

Oops, that should read "start with a clean pst-file". If you can't get into
Outlook you can do this through Control Panel- Mail

If I start with either a clean .pst file or a new profile, what will happen
with a mail that was already on the system?

No, as the pst-file contains the mail.

Hey Roady.

I ran scanpst.exe on a smaller sized .pst file named Alex.pst, and it came
up with 3 errors in 10992. Then when I clicked "Repair." I got "Not
responding." messages.

It seems like both OE and OL, isn't acting properly now, it takes for ever
to open an e-mail in either mail programs. In terms of 2-4 mintutes.

Sorry, I read it wrong ;-) Starting a new pst-file doesn't affect the mail
already in the other pst-file. This way you can use Outlook again while
trying to recover the older e-mails.

Depending on the size a repair can take a whole while. The system might
think it is not responding because of that. Make sure the pst-file is on the
local client and if it is a big pst-file run the recovery overnight and
leave the computer alone.

As for the 2nd OE and OL issue; do a restart of your system and try again.

Usually nothing. It will remain in the old PST, inaccessible until you add
that PST to your mail profile (i.e., open it in Outlook).
