VERY BIG PROBLEM! Microsoft Outlook 2000!!!

OK, to make a long story short, we had an Outlook 2000 .pst file with about 1.3 GIGABYTES of email in it. Ridiculous I know. Anyway, we tried to import it into another accont that already had over a gigabyte of emails too. Well... now the filesize is around 2gb, and apparently from Microsoft support docs you can't use pst files over 2 GB. So... after the import now all the email that was originally on that computer (ie not being imported) can't be opened, it says the pst file has problems. I assume thats because of the filesize limit.

How can I get this email back????
 
Microsoft has a utility that will basically chop the top off the file and reduce it to under the 2GB limit. What gets chopped is lost. I believe you have to call them to get it but you may want to hunt around on their support site as it may be freely available nowadays. I haven't looked into the issue lately but as of about a year ago, that was the only solution. Don't know if others exist now.
 
That is the exact reason I have everyone who uses Outlook to archive their emails every few months. So, the main PST file doesn't reach 2GB.
