Outlook 2003- problem with personalfiles.pst -
hi. Outlook was very slow and clunky. Locked up.
After I hard rebooted I got "there was a problem closing outlook and there may be a problem with personal.pst files. It tries to receive a message and I get : "receiving reported error (0X80040116): unknown error. Right now, everytime I try to go into OUTLOOK it takes 5 minutes to open, then tries to get messages... then locks. I already tried repair utility and even reloaded. Help please.
MORE INFO:: this just in: I tried to send an email and it read: THE FILE C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\OWNER\LOCAL SETTINGS\APPLICATION DATA\MICROSOFT\OUTLOOK\OUT
thanks Neal

and.. it did recover the file.. but the file was never "lost". It is 1,333,265 kb ...
so.. even when I try to go into deleted items and delete I get: THE FILE C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\OWNER\LOCAL SETTINGS\APPLICATION DATA\MICROSOFT\OUTLOOK\OUT
but.. the file is there. what to do??? now I have "recovered" items on my desktop from the utility.. but they don't seem to be any different than the original ones...??? help?

Are you using Exchange, if so try deleting the local user/.pst file. Outlook will then download a fresh one from the server.
Looks like PST file is damaged. Did you try to run ScanPST to repair the file?
