You may have to run .pst utilities multiple times. And you would do well to advise users not to allow .pst files to go near that large. Their corruptibility potential grows with file size.

I have already had to break into the pst because he forgot the password. Now, a strange situation, he was in the middle of moving a file to a Personal Folder when the power to the building went down, a brown out, including his workstation, rebooted. Servers fine, UPS. So, once booted back up the Outlook client locks or won't complete a move, copy, anything all the way through in his Personal Folders that he was working with. I am attempting to play with the pst file on a separate PC so as not to mess with what's on his system. I was successful in copying the file to another workstation, but can't open it Personal Folder in his account, it prompts me for a password. Do I need to try to break into the folder again, or is it possibly that I'm logged into the machine as Administrator, and his mailbox as his username. Do I need to log on as him?
