Default Help! Need to reduce size of .bak file (2GB+!).

My inbox crashed. After reading several threads, I compacted all files, and
the inbox went to the Recycling Bin. I found the problem was the size of my
inbox - 2+GB!. How/where can I restore it so that I can edit the file,
splitting up what I need into smaller files and deleting the rest?
I presume I can't open it without OE? How can I do that without crashing OE
all over again?
System: I have OE6 on XP SP3
