New symptom and one error message

[Guest]

I recently experienced the inability of Outlook (2002 SP) to download email
messages from my server. I can see messages via web mail. Send receive tries
to download and stops at the *0% mark.

In addition, I can no longer delete individual messages. When I do this I
get the following error message-"The message interface has eturned an unknown
error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook."

I restarted outlook, reinstalled outlook, reformated my hard drive and
reinstalled operting system and Office 2002 XP. It worked on first try, but
then reverted to problem described above. Any thoughts?

What size is your PST file?

 

[Guest]

The total size is about 1.9 megs. and growing because I can't delete ny files.

Because of your question I determined that the .pst file has a max capacity
of about .18 meg.
Therefore the solution was to start a new .pst file. When I did so,
everything was back to normal and I still hd access to the original file.

Thanks for your help.

No version of Outlook has a PST limit that small.

Oops, that was 1.8 meg. Thanks Paul
