Well, actually, the size limit on a .PST file in Outlook 2000 is 2GB :-)
So you weren't anywhere near the limit. However, there was likely some
corruption in your old .PST file, so creating a new .PST fixed the problem.
In the future, you can try using the Inbox Repair Tool to fix problems in a
..PST file -- the IRT is a file called scanpst.exe and should be on your hard
drive somewhere (just do a Windows search for it, then run it).
