Microsoft acknowledge that PST files can corrupt when they hit the 2 GB limit in Outlook Standard Edition 97, 98, 2000, 2002:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088: "This problem occurs because the .pst and the .ost files have a 2 gigabyte (GB) size limitation, and the error message occurs when it is exceeded. "

Solution: don't use Outlook. Better use e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird.

I don't quite like the way Thunderbird works. I use it for one account, but not my main work. Would love to give up Outlook though.
