could be a corrupted mail file,

just track down the folder where the file is 'normally' found, c:\documents and settings\user\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook (XP)

or c:\users\user\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook (Vista, 7)

make a copy of the file just in case, note the location you save the backup.
. now go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033

and run ScanPST.
navigate to the location where your PST is stored and click Start.

You have the option here to create a backup .bak file as well.
when this completes, you can try to open the PST file in Outlook again , via File > Open > Outlook Data File.

You can use this same method to scan .OST files that might be errored, or corrupted as well. OSTs are used with Exchange server accounts , also known as Offline STorage Files.

Hi there
When you find the file all you have to do is copy the file to your documents, if you have to right click on it, go to properties and uncheck "hidden" you will then be able to view the file and copy it to a flash drive or any other removable media, Microsoft do this for security reasons

All your mail, your contacts, your calendars, and almost every other detail of your life is in Outlook. To make sure you don't lose all this in case of a hard disk crash or some other disaster, you can create backup copies of your Personal Folders (.pst) files — that's where Outlook stores all the essential data.
Back Up or Copy Your Outlook Mail, Contacts and Other Data To create a copy of your mail, contacts, calendar and other data in Outlook for backup or copying:

• Go to your Outlook folder in Windows Explorer.
• Highlight all files ending in ".pst".
  • Make sure in particular your selection includes "outlook.pst" and "archive.pst".
• Select Edit | Copy from the menu to copy them.
• Open the folder where you want to put your backup copies in Windows Explorer.
  • Ideally, this will be on another computer, on a removable disk stored far away from your home, somewhere on the Internet, or at least on a different hard disk.
• Select Edit | Paste from the menu to paste your .pst files to the backup location

Restore from Your Outlook Backup Your backup copy of Outlook data is now in place, ready to be restored when you need it.
