Default Dead Email (.pst) file?

I posted this on the 24 hr helpdesk, too... but I thought maybe more
specialized Outlook users might approach this differently...

I have been running Outlook 2003 for years. My .pst file is up to
about 700 megs in size. As of the last week it does not: a) accept new
incoming mail (although I see it downloads it at the bottom right), b)
allow me to delete anything (thought that might help it out a little),
c) register an error on scanpst OR Ontrack's Easyrecovery OR chkdsk on
the disk OR Norton Disk Doctor (on the same disk).

The repair programs register errors after I've shutdown Outlook (when
IT has given me a .pst error), but once they fix the error they do not
show the error as persistent. It only reappears after I try to open
Outlook again.

I'm running 2000 SP4, Office SP2, on a 2GHz machine w/ 1G memory and
two 300G hard drives (the partition outlook uses is only 120G).

ANY help would be great.

Thanks!
