I am using Microsoft Outlook as email client from the past 2 years, but last evening when I tried opening the Microsoft Outlook, it fails and displays some error message. I have checked the filesize and it shows the size of the outlook.pst file appox 1.9 GB (~Approx). I have heard more about your forum and are looking for a FREE solution to repair my corrupt pst file. Please guide me how can I recover my emails from damaged PST file.

Microsoft Outlook users are unaware of the storage limit imposed by the micrsoft for a user's .PST file (the file used as Outlook's message database) is 2 GB. If a .PST file size exceeds to over 2 GB, it can become damaged and some mail items may be lost. This is a very common scenario which keeps busy key executives in the Corporate who always think .PST is lifetime mail storage file - Yes, it is but only when they do proper housekeeping.
I will show you some tips which can help you recover your .PST file emails in the event if PST file is damaged.
Microsoft released an Inbox Repair tool (Scanpst.exe) which is designed to help repair problems that are associated with personal folder (.pst) files. The Inbox Repair tool is automatically installed with all English-language Outlook installation options depending on your operating system.
| Code: | For Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft Windows 2000:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT |
| Code: | For Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\95 |
You can also run a Search on the Google to find the file “scanpst.exe”. You can use this tool to repair crashed PST file, before using this tool, remember to BACKUP the original PST file.
Detail steps are found here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;197316
While attempting to open a personal folders (.pst) file or an offline folders (.ost) file from Microsoft Outlook, you may receive the following error message:
| Code: | | Errors have been detected in the file <file_path>. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool. |
where <file_path> is the path to the .pst file.
If you run the Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe), the file does not resolve the problem. This problem occurs because the .pst and the .ost files have a 2 gigabyte (GB) size limitation, and the error message occurs when it is exceeded. The Inbox Repair Tool cannot correct this problem.
So you need use the "PST2GB" tool to recover this type of file. After running this tool, it will create a truncated copy of the .pst file. The copy that is left after the tool completes does not have all the original data because the tool cuts a user defined amount of data from the file.
Please note the Recovery Limitations of the 2 GB Truncation Utility:
1. You must have 2 GB of free hard disk space (to make a copy of the .pst file).
2. The utility truncates the .pst file to under 2 GB. To have enough working space, truncate the file between 20 to 25 megabytes (MB) less than the 2 GB limit. The truncated data is removed from the new copy, which means some messages are missing from the recovered copy.
You can download the "PST2GB" tool from here Download PST2GB Tool, and also it includes instruction guide to recover the data. |
