Indeed.

The PST is now broken. You will need to call Microsoft about getting a fix for it. I think the call is around $250. I would also urge you to reevaluate your email management techniques. First, why are you wasting a money on an Exchange server? If you want to DL your mail to a PST, you should look at some simple POP/SMTP systems. SLMail is very good. It costs about 1/10 as much as Exchange. Also if you choose to use or invoke old and unreliable technologies such as PST files, you should learn how to deal with them. There are reasons that PST=BAD/ Also this having 2GB of email? I would be curious as to how long you have been accumulating email. I have yet to run into anybody except perhaps multimedia folk who truly needed to save that much email. -Original Message- From: Sandeep Raghuraman , Gurgaon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 9:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: inbox repair tool Guru's I have a peculiar problem in repairing a PST file which got corrupted.Exchange server 5.5 with sp4Mails are downloaded locally in personal folder for users with outlook2K.One user is having 2GB personal folder which got corrupted.On running Inbox Repair tool it is giving error An unexpected error while runing scanpst...

RE: inbox repair tool
2GB PST = VERY BAD. I am not aware of any other repair tool besides SCANPST. If the PST cannot be opened and the user does not have a backup there is not much you can do. I have seen PSTs with far less get corrupted (and the user did not have a backup) and the mail was unrecoverable. The user may get mad, but the only person they can blame is themselves. I don't care if they are the CEO. The mail is toast.

RE: inbox repair tool
Dear Sandeep, First of all, 51% or better of the members of this List Server believe that PST files are bad. So, you will probably receive a handful of flame messages. I, however, like PST files and see their purpose in business. I would copy the 2 GB PST file to another PC and then run SCANPST from that PC.

RE: inbox repair tool
Maybe he can open the PST in a hex editor, cut and paste half of it to a new file and divide it in two. Then he'll have two PST files both under 2GB. Sandeep, For a useful answer, please go to www.microsoft.com/technet and type My PST is over 2 GB and click on the Search button. You will get three articles which tell you exactly how to solve your problem.
