? what do you mean. Export it from another pc then import it to the pc that has the problem. Also is the 2g limit per computer or is it on the server

yes

Also is the 2g limit per computer or is it on the server

the limit applies to files on the system where they reside; so BOTH

in my opinion, you're playing with fire. ANY corruption ANYWHERE in the 2bg file
and you will loose your contacts, calendar, and all email.

Personally, I use Outlook for only the first two features and use a 3rd party email client for my pop3 email service. Notice: contacts and calendar appointments are
far less volitile (ie change less frequently or at lease in less volume).

Use the Outlook Export feature and save Contacts and then Calendar archives
separately. At least if you scramble the .pst file you will be able to get those elements back again.
