Hello,

Outlook 2007 on XP SP2, all updated.

I have a PST, 600MB. I open the pst from the location on the hard drive and it's displayed in the left hand pane. I click the PST and the only thing that displays is the PST as if it was an e-mail message. The size is 600MB, the subject is the name of the PST, no attachments, and the icon on the left is a PST icon, not a message/envelope icon. How do I get the messages out of this pst?

I tried moving the file to another new PST and same deal. If I try to double-click the message, outlook throws the "Outlook has blocked this as a potentially unsafe file" error.


Anyone have any insights? Thanks in advance.
 
I hate to think the pst file is totally lost...It's just in a weird format according to outlook.
