OK - I have a pst folder on my PC that I can see in Outlook 2002. However,
if I try to move a file into it or out of it Outlook locks up. Eventually,
I have to just end the task with task manager. Any ideas on how to solve
this problem?

I eventually went to a backup file (lost a months worth of filed e-mails)
and now things work fine. This has happend in the past a couple of times.
Is the folder pst file corrupted or something?

Appreciate any suggestions.

You can move it if Outlook is closed (make sure its not
running in the background) but when you reopen it will
open in a new configuration. The best thing to do is to
export it to a new location and then delete the old.
 
I had similar problems not long ago. The problem was file
size limitation on the .pst file (2gb). I ran the
scanpst.exe program on the .pst file and fixed any errors
on the file. then I opened outlook again and did an
archive of the old files.
Hope this helps.
