old emails

I am using Outlook 2000 SP-3 and i am having a problem deleting older
emails. It seems that anything that is older than 4 months will not delete;
I get the message

"The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem
persists, restart Outlook."

I have tried to run scanpst but it does not fix it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Does scanpst report any errors?
What size is your pst?

153mb is not large
Run Scanpst several times, it may help
