Outlook PST File Problem.

Try an export to .PST and check the file size. If it is smaller you can create a new profile and import it back in. If you do an export and it is the same size and you are sure something is not right you can run the inbox repair tool to attempt to correct any corruption.

Very cool, thanks. I did an export and the PST file size went from 3.9GB down to 850MB. Before I employ the new file I am just wondering if the new file will contain all my contacts as well?

Thanks again. Marc
