Try moving the PST elsewhere and replace it with a blank or small, fresh PST of the same name. Then, after opening up Outlook, export the PST into the new, fresh PST. It should work, and if it's corrupted, Outlook will tell you.

This .pst file is approx. 584MB, not exceeding the 2GB limit... But, it's crashing everything that tries to get to it. When I open the mailbox, after approx. 7 minutes of cranking away at 100%CPU utilization, then I try to open this Personal Folders file, I get a message that I don't have permission to open it. What? I wonder if there's a way to get into this file? I've searched TechNet, Google, my archive of messages from this list. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.
