Have tried Inbox Repair, Scanpst.exe etc and get "Unexpected Error prevented
access to this file. Use ScanDisk to check for disk errors & try using Index
Repair Tool again". I am being directed to go around in circles. I can open
Outlook. I have all my mails and addresses there. have checkes all and
sundry under Options. Everything correct. Can send a test message - but,
cannot sned or receive or delet files or create folders and it all falls back
on being unable to access Outlook (1)(1).pst Any ideas?

Version of OL?
Size of the pst?

Same problem here....Outlook 2000 on XP.
PST file is currently 2,097,136kb
Thanks

OL versions prior to 2003, or using old format, ansi code, pst have a size
limitation of 2gb, though problems can occur from 1.6gb
