the next option when/if that doesn't work (as it didn't for me) is to try
scanpst.exe which, depending on your operating system, should be in your
system folder.

the final option is to change to eudora or similar (like i am using now),
when nothing that you can do will resurrect your damaged pst file and you
*never* want to lose all your mail again...  ; )
