Fixing PST problems, 2GB limit

Outlook is junk, for example any mailbox file over 2 GB cannot be repaired with the scanpst.exe tool located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033.

"Complete recovery of PST files over 2 GB's is impossible"

BUT, you can trim the fat off of a file over 2GB and recover all the other email:
Search Microsoft.com for:

"Exchange 2000 Tool: PST2GB"

More accurately, there's a page called Oversized PST and OST crop tool:

These guys claim they know something about Outlook files although you cannot use their product without pay (not a real trial):
