HELP, Please !...  Before I discovered that there's a 2 Gb limit to the size
of the Outlook.Pst file, it grew to that size, Outlook 2000 IMO crashed, and
it told me to run the Inbox Repair Tool.  I did, and it failed.  I've since
read on some posts that the Scanpst program will further corrupt a PST file
that's too big.  Anyway, I ran iHex to reduce the size of the Outlook.Pst
file to 1.89 Gb,...  then ran Scanpst again,...  it says it worked.

Now, when I start Outlook 2000, it says there are 26,002 items in a
newly-created "Lost & Found" folder.  All other folders are empty.  And there
are 52 "Recovered Folder 8123" sub-folders (each with a different number)
under the "Lost & Found" folder.  Those 52 are empty.

When I click on the "Lost & Found" folder to see the contents, it says it's
Unable to display the folder, There are errors, Run the Inbox repair tool.  I
did that again...  same results.

Naturally, I NEED to get my messages back.  Any brilliant ideas, all you
Gurus out there?  Thanks VERY Much for Any Advice you can offer.

Asked and answered in another newsgroup.  Don't multipost.

Yes,...  I asked the same question in another newsgroup.  Is that a
no-no?  If so, I apologize.

I was trying to get more coverage...  hoping that others might have an
answer to the problem.

Seriously,...  it that "multi-post" thing bad netiquette?

Thanks.
