Calling Robt Scoble! Help me fix my corrupted 1.9G Outlook .pst
When I was in Vancouver - we hung out with Robert and his wife Maryam.
While I had Roberts’ ear - did I ask for deep Microsoft secrets or what Lenn Pryor eats for breakfast? No!
I was too concerned with my corrupted Outlook file - which had hit 1.9G - because of a certain person’s podcasts - and Robert told me of a fix that was “up somewhere”. Well I’ve pinged Robert three times now - and the only sure fire way I knoq of getting his attention - is to blog him.
So Robert - I’m sorry I had to resort to this - but I LIVE in my Outlook - and I promise to NEVER download another podcast again - if you could just PLEASE just send me the magic URL - so I can scrape out the corrupted files and get my old data BACK!
PLEASE?
Marc,
I just stumbled across this entry by a very convulted route (the last hop was Marc Eisenstadt’s blog) but maybe these will be of interest to you?

I ran across something similar before with a corrupt pst that wasn’t close to the 2gb limit - I ended up setting up a whole new pst and imported data across from the damaged one without loosing any data. The articles above come with some nasty disclaimers so perhaps this is worth trying? Import the old pst into the new one, omitting the big folder that’s pushing it close to the 2gb limit?
If you wanted to keep the data in the large pst, you could always devote a file just to that data?
Good luck!
