    Guys,

    Is there a way of recovering deleted mails in Outlook 2003 when you dont have an exchange server (i have seen the regedit fix with Exchange).

    Im nearly sure there was a way in Outlook 98 - surly the option is in 2003?

    Thanks,

    Jo.

    If there aren't in the deleted items then make a copy of the PST, if you have compacted the PST since emails deleted then don't bother they are overwritten

    Then BREAK the copy using the oversize repair tool or some other app to trim a few KB off the end, then repair it with scanpst - probably won't work though

    Outlook has no built-in way to reduce a PST or OST file that has gone over the limit. However, Microsoft provides a tool, PST2GB, which you can download to restore the file to operability. Note, however, that the utility truncates the data from between 25 and 50mb and the truncated data is not recoverable. The remaining data under 2GB should be restored. See OL: Oversized PST and OST Crop Tool for more information.
    I don't know if this tool will work on PST's bigger than 2GB
