Corrupted "Inbox" folder in Deleted Items !!!

[Cedric]

I have a problem with my Outlook 2007 on Windows XP and linked to ACT10.

My problem came this morning when I reach the maximum size of my PST file. I
tried to Archive my datas in Outlook for the 1st time (now I know I should
have done that before). My PST file was 1.9Go and I had an Outlook.bak of
1Go, after a moment of running the archiving tool in Outlook, I noticed that
my Archive.pst had reached over 5Go !!!!
At that moment, I cancelled the Archiving and Outlook died.

When I tried to empty my "Deleted Items", my outlook froze. Manually
deleting files/folders from my "Deleted Items", I found out that I have a
Inbox folder in my Deleted Items. And this is the folder that I am unable to
remove.

This "Inbox" folder has 233mails in it, a "Deleted Items" folder and another
Inbox folder. This Sub-Inbox Folder has 233mails in it, a "Deleted Items"
Folder and another Inbox folder ... AND SO ON !!! And this arborescence goes
on forever !!!

Since I could not delete it, I tried to cut and past it into a new PST that
I could then just physically remove from my computer. But, it started going
in circles and creating a huge PST files as it did first with the Archives.

Does anyone have any idea of how I could get rid of this ? or how I could
transfer all my PST datas (emails, notes, contacts, calendar etc) except my
deleted Items, into a new PST ?

Thank you very much in advance,

Regards,
Cedric

Outlook 2007 doesn't have a maximum PST size of 2 GB. It's much larger than
that, you can likely go 20 GB.

Create a new PST file and simply move the emails to the new PST.
