seems you got the love virus. so first thing first. get an antivirus or a better one. then you need to get some software that can fix the the 2gig barrier on fat that the virus got u into. scanpst won't work here, it doesn't have the feature to handle this. now, moving the mails is simple. create an IMAP account, move the mails from the pst to the IMAP, then move from the IMAP back to mozilla or whathave you. enjoy.
