The pst is still to large.
Either archive again, changing the archive date settings, or create a new
pst and move data to this. Then compact again.
An early version pst can go south at 1.6gb, remember also the size problem
also effects an archive file, which is just another pst.

One of my users was having problems with their email (Outlook 2000),
recieving emails.
When checking, I found his pst file to be 2,097,136 KB.
I was able to archive sent items (along with attachments), that created an
archive pst file of 438,233 KB, but the original pst file size hasn't
changed.
Why is that?
I tried compacting it, but no luck.
They appear to be able to send & recieve email now, but I'm concerned
about the size issue.
Any advice appreciated!
