Make a backup of your PST or OST, then open the original file with the hex editor (available for download from any Windows shareware site). Eugene McCarthy of FAO Headquarters in Rome recommends the free iHex editor, which loads only 64kb of the file at a time, making it ideal for tinkering with extremely large PST files. Every Windows shareware site has a selection of hex editors. If you want to attempt repairs yourself, use a tool called a hex editor to edit the data in the file directly. The remaining data under 2GB should be restored. Note, however, that the utility truncates the data from between 25 and 50mb and the truncated data is not recoverable. However, Microsoft provides a tool, PST2GB, which you can download to restore the file to operability. Outlook has no built-in way to reduce a PST or OST file that has gone over the limit.
