It probably does, but the tool itself still has a hard limit of 16383 items, even before you try opening the file. I have several of these pst files, all less than 1.5G, and they all act exactly the same way. I'm opening them in Outlook 2003 (and with various tools) but nothing seems to change the architecture of the file, nor do any of the tools appear to have the innate ability to work with more than 16K files per folder.

So it definitely sounds like something is corrupt with the format of the PST file to where the utility only recognizes it as having a limit of 16k items. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 11:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange, Exmerge, and 16,383 items Looks like a good tool, but it won't let you attempt to recover more than 16,383 items either.... Thanks, though! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Knoch Jr., James W Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 8:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange, Exmerge, and 16,383 items Instead of the pruning tool we bought a tool awhile back called Recovery for Outlook: http://www.officerecovery.com/outlook/index.htm This tool splits up 2GB PST files into multiple files, attempts to fix corruption, removes passwords (very handy when the ps19upg utility doesn't work) and attempts to recover/undelete items. Supports all versions of Outlook. It's not free, but it has been worth the money over the past few years. Especially when the users don't lose a large chunk of e-mail when pruning. We had to cut out 500GB of data before in order to recover a PST file. Not very nice.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 10:16 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange, Exmerge, and 16,383 items Appreciate the thought, but yeah, I have done that. Tried deleting some items, compacting, repairing, nothing I've tried so far seems to reset the count in the folder. I'm starting to believe there is no cure. David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Albert Duro Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 8:33 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Exchange, Exmerge, and 16,383 items I don't know of any new tools, but since you're grasping at straws, I can suggest a couple of fairly hopeless straws, but they might be worth a try. First, have you tried moving the entire PSTs into Outlook folders? Or moved just the moveable items out, and then see if what's left over might not fix itself? Secondly, the ancient Exchange client can sometimes do things that Outlook can't. Pulled my chestnuts out a couple of times. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 11:36 AM Subject: Exchange, Exmerge, and 16,383 items I've posted this question a long time ago, but am running it by everyone again in case new tools have surfaced: We have some archival PST files, which were created by Exmerge from an Exchange box between 2003 and 2005. They're not over the 2GB limit, but they do contain more than the 16,383 item limit in the inbox. I've tried every configuration trick I know to get around the file limit, with no success yet. I've deleted some files out but nothing seems to prompt the 'indexing' to reset itself to any items besides those initially visible. I had hopes for Microsoft's 2GB 'pruning' tool, but that tool will not allow you to run it against a PST unless it is 1.9G or larger. Does anyone know of a similar pruning tool that might work, or of any other process to get at the other items in the file?
