I have a major issue here where I'm trying to get mail messages back.  I am running outlook 14.4.1 on OSX 10.9.3

The client notified me that outlook would start to open and then just crash out.  All the documentation points to the database somehow getting corruted and needed to be rebuilt.  On the main computer I attempted to rebuild the database and kept getting error -36 during step #3 of the rebuild.  A handful of google searches would lead me to believe that there is a hardware failure.....

So then I took all the folders in the main outlook identity and pulled them over to the macbook .... I copied all the mail folders to a new outlook identity and attempted to rebuild the database.  It gets halfway into step #4 of the rebuild and then fails with error -18000. 

I'm almost a full day into trying to figure out what is the problem and if there is any way to retrieve the data.  I don't have a OLM file to work with and since it was all POP mail I can't re-download from the server.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
