Outlook 2000 .pst over 2gb

[Steve]

How do I repair my pst file so that I can use my Outlook? I have gone over
the 2gb threshold, now I can't see my email or my contacts. I tried the
repair tool but it didn't help.

Did you chop it to get it well under 2 GB then run scanpst?
See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.asp for steps and
utilities you may need if the pst is corrupted.

Your PST file is oversized. Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier
versions limit the size of Personal Folders (PST) file to 2GB.
Whenever the PST file reaches or exceeds that limit, you will not be
able to open or load it any more, or you cannot add any new data to
it. This is called oversized PST file problem. More detailed
information can be found at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/2gb-pst.htm

You can use Advanced Outlook Repair to solve the problem, by either
converting it into Outlook 2003 format ( http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/convert-2gb-pst.htm
), or splitting it into smaller pieces ( http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/split-2gb-pst.htm
)

Microsoft Outlook 2002 and its earlier versions, which include Outlook 2000,
98 and 97, have 2 GB size limit problem with PST (Personal Storage) file. If
the PST file reaches or exceeds this size limit, the file can not be opened
and stored data can not be accessed. There are strong chances of PST file
corruption when it exceeds the size limit.

You may use pst crop tool:
