Win NT 4.0 Exchange server 5.5. Information store has reached it's limit. I ran an offline defrag and it didn't help. It is still to big to run. Is there another way to decrease the size of the file. The Store service won't start so I can't get in to delete emails.

Company iswithout email.

Thanks
Tom

Sounds like you may need to upgrade:

This one goes through much of what you likely tried, and comes to the same comclusion:

If you don't want to purchase the upgrade, or can't do this in a timely manner, you will need to find a local service company which can load your database into their own server, delete a lot of unnecessary information, or chop it up so you can use a second server in your own environment...

Have lots of backups.

(re)Install exchange 5.5 sp4.
Is there enough room on the hardisk ?
do a search on *.log, if you find any in the exchange folders you can delete those.
You can also tell exchange to move the data folders to another harddisk with more room.
Whats the exact error message in the eventviewer.
Send me the details to

Get the enterprise version of the software which does away with the 16GB restriction of exchange. If you done the offline, and the system will not start, this might be the only solution.
