Mr. tech is on a distinguished road

Default Outlook PST file too large

I've had one of those pre-outlook 2003 issues where when the PST file gets over 2GB, it cant take anymore. So what I've had to do is set is as an archive in Outlook so I can still send an receive emails. It go so full I couldn't even SHIFT+DELETE emails.

The problem is I can't search archived emails... this is a pain because I did this a lot in the past.

I tried using the tool provided by Microsoft to shave off 25MB from the end of the PST file and then repair it but it failed...

Is there anything I can do to either convert the PST into the new format or at least search through the emails?
