Now that you have a thoroughly corrupt profile, time for the scorched
earth method - create a new mail profile, add your Exchange account
and all of the other accounts. Let EXchange sync up for a while.
Then go back and open your .pst file and your hotmail.pst file.

The Hotmail PST should need to be opened, either. Creating a new Hotmail
account will create a new Hotmail PST. Since the Hotmail server contains
all the messages anyway, it will recreate the contents.
