Microsoft Outlook pst file corrupted. What do I do?


My Outlook file has been corrupted in some way. I was not able to delete messages or to even see messages back beyond a certain date in my inbox. I worked with Sympatico tech support and they could not correct the issue so they simply created  a new inbox that is working; however, the old inbox and all its associated folders is still there but I can’t do anything with it. In addition I am not able to archive files. Further I cannot use the calendar function which I used to use extensively. I get an error message identifying the Outlook.pst file with the direction to use the Inbox repair tool Scanpst.exe; however I have tried it twice and it hasn’t worked

Outlook is the version that comes with OFFICE 2007.  I am not sure how large the
pst file is?
07 has a 20gb pst size limit. Are you near that? Find your pst file and properties it
