Hi jack!

I think you may have hit a limit with the 2GB file.

However, I believe the .pst file is a database format file, which means
it can probably be rebuilt and compacted.

Outlook 2001 does not come with a repair tool but Outlook for Windows
does. The .pst file formats between Outlook 2001 for Mac and Outlook
2000 for Windows are similar and the repair tool can work on the Mac
file. If you can't find someone with Outlook 2000 you can try the repair
on a later version of Outlook for Windows.

Good luck! bill

HI William

It's work, just like you said that the format of personal folder in Windows
and Mac are same, so I used the PC's tools to splite it into less than 2G
size and after scanned by scanpst.exe, then I can opened the pst in
windows.. so thanks your information.

Regards
Jack
