Outlook user has trouble after exceeding quotas and archiving

Outlook user has trouble after exceeding quotas and archiving

XP home.
Outlook 2003 client
Server 2003 SBS with outlook.

The user ignored a month of warning messages, then the account locked up as per policy, unable to send or receive messages.

Steps:
1) Archived the mail, bringing the user total down to 300 MB.
2) Raised the user storage limits so this never happens again.
3) Did a full export to pst so we have a backup.

User can now send. The client pulls mail off an external popmail server, deletes it there but the new mail is not seen inside the exchange database.

Ideas:
1) Delete the mailbox, recreate it import the pst file.
2)Ask you windows people what to do.
3) Start and stop the exchange services on the server.

HELP!
