Microsoft Outlook that comes bundled with Microsoft Office, stores email messages, contacts, notes and folders on the local drive as a .pst file. These are large encrypted non-text files which store all mailboxes, schedules, contacts and all other information in Microsoft Outlook. There are a number of reasons for a .pst file corruption. Few are mentioned below:
- Corruption caused due to exceeding the .pst file size limit of 2 GB
- .pst files become corrupt when used over a network.
- Accidentally deleted messages, contacts and notes.
- Corruption caused inside the .pst file header.
- Compacting a .pst file is one of the main reason for corruption
There is a pst recovery tool called Remo Outlook mail Recovery (pst), which can successfully repair and restore a corrupted .pst file. This tool can easily repair 2GB pst file and does much more than what the Microsoft Inbox repair tool (i.e. “Scanpst.exe”) can do. This Outlook recovery software has the most advanced algorithms ever designed to recover data from Microsoft Outlook email archive files (.pst).
Remo Outlook Mail Recovery Software does not prune the file. Instead it creates a blank .pst file to create a new entry again. Finally, all the junk entries, unwanted temporary data will be ignored and user gets a new healthy .pst file.
Always try to keep a backup of the corrupted .pst file and then go ahead and use the demo version of the software to validate the chances of repairing your corrupt .pst file.
