How to Repair Database .pst file of MS Outlook?

I am unable to open my Outlook file due to corruption how to repair database .pst file of MS outlook. I was using Microsoft Outlook 2007 from last 2 years and everything is going well. But suddenly I have got an error message “outlook data file cannot
be accessed ” while accessing PST file. It was also suggested me to run scanpst.exe tool. I had tried to repair my inaccessible PST file many times with the help of Inbox repair tool. But this utility is unable to solve my issue, please suggest me how
can I repair my corrupted database.pst file without losing any information. Is there any way to restore all information from inaccessible PST file into new PST file to continue working as previously?

Hi,
My first recommendation is Scanpst.exe from Microsoft, but since you mentioned it didn't fix the issue, you can also try some 3rd-party tools to fix the data file. Please remember to keep a backup before performing any actions on the file.
In case the issue was caused by the corrupted profile, you can also create a new profile and setup an account in Outlook, check if you can open the .pst file.

Hello,
My colleague's Outlook pst file is corrupted and the file size is more than 17 GB. Scanpst.exe and PST Recovery Software could not recover the file. Is there any other way to repair it?

How to see the ms files attachment in outlook in iphone

how to see the ms files attachment in outlook in iphone

I believe JDK6 has the Desktop API which allows you to do this.
Prior to that you can use the Runtime class. Read the HTML page that is displayed when running the example from this posting:

Repairing / Compressing .PST files and Outlook Processes in Task Manager

Does Outlook 2010 still use scanpst.exe for repairing .PST files? That seems to be what I read in a few articles that I found online, but I can't seem to find my scanpst.exe file. It either wasn't installed originally or it has been deleted
by something. I am running Windows 7 Pro and I I looked in the Office 14 folder, which is where the article said it should be, but it wasn't there. I also search the whole drive. I found a scanpst.exe0002 in an installs directory. I
am assuming that is the file in some form of compressed format as it comes for installation, but I don't know how to get it into the standard .exe format.
I tried running Outlook repair from the Program Installs / Uninstalls application. That does not seem to have helped.
The reason I am even doing this is that Outlook is hanging, e.g. just stoppin and not responding. It does this when I select a specific PST folder and it may do it at other times. But it is more than just Outlook hanging. When it hangs,
you can shut down Outlook, but there is still an Outlook Process running that cannot be shut down at least by my normal none admin user ID.
And even more strange is that when this is the case, I cannot log off nor can I shutdown. The whole system just hangs in a state of limbo. I can walk away and come back a half hour later and the screen will still say "Logging off" or
" Shutting down".
I see not error messages concerning Outlook in the Application Event log. I do see a whole bunch of Warning messages about Outlook, but they are all about Event Id 27, "Calendar Folder Property missing" and date back to January
What do I do here? I am thinking that there may be an issue with one or more of my pst files either growing too large, or being corrupted. I don't know what else can hang Outlook like that. And I am concerned that I can't shut down a process
running under my ID.

Yes, unless you're using the Click to Run (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982434) version of Office then scanpst.exe should be there. Note, depending on whether it's 32 or 64 bit it can be found in either
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
or
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
so I wonder if you were looking in the wrong one? Depending on your setup it's possible to have both paths on your system, though only one of them will contain the required files.

How to repair damaged DBX file of outlook express?

I am currently having 4 GB data available in inbox.dbx. But there is one problem with that. I am not able to see my mails as header corrupt the dbx files. This is very annoying. I tried many things to solve the problem from my side but it was not helpful
to me. So I am leaving the question over here so that I can get the response from you people that what should I do to repair the damaged DBX file of outlook express. Thank you so much in advance for reading and replying to this thread.

The manual solution starts with finding or locating the corrupted DBX file(s). You need to start the Registry
Editor to find the location where Outlook Express stores its files. Follow the steps given below to know how to do this:
Press Win+R to open the Run window.
Type regedit into
it and press enter.
The Registry Editor window will be opened. In the left hand side pane, expand the folders in
this manner:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Identities > XYZ > Software > Microsoft > Outlook
Express > 5.0
Now in the right hand side pane, locate the Store Root settings from the list and double-click
it.
The path will be shown where Outlook Express stores its files. Copy the full path from there.
Once you have copied the path, you need to move the mailbox file(s). Follow the steps given below to know
how to do this:
First of all close the Outlook Express program if it is opened.
Now paste the path (copied earlier) on your Windows directory and press enter.
You can copy or move all the files from this location to a new location. After that, delete all the files from the
original location if you have copied them.
In the third step, you need to import the DBX file(s) into Outlook Express. It would be easy for Outlook
Express to import the file(s) without causing any trouble. Follow the steps given below to know how to do this:
Start Outlook Express on your system.
Click on File menu > Import.
The Outlook Express Import window
will be opened. Select the Outlook Express version in the list from which you want to import the emails. If you are unsure with that, you can select Outlook Express 6. Click on Next.
Now click on Browse to select the directory where the files are saved. This is the very same
directory in which you have moved the files from original location earlier. Click on Next.
Select the items you want to import. For example: you can import All folders or the Selected
folders. Click on Next.
Now start your Outlook Express and check your mailbox folders again.

Outlook: How big is your .PST file?

Does anyone have a .PST file larger than 2 GB? Have you noticed any performance issues on a T61 or an X300?
Outlook 2007 is supposed to handle 20 GB .PST files. However, once it hits 2 GB, it can start causing problems.

I'm running with my pst file at 1.898 GB at the moment and have 4 archive files totalling 1.54 GB and am not experiencing any problems.
If I need something out of one of the archive files I can just re-import the sub-folder, (I have about 40), from an archive into the main personal folder.

How can I import .pst files into ES2?

I downloaded a set of patches for ES2 and only see the option to "load" them for a single use. How do I import them so I can pull them up through the interface menu? They are in .PST file format.
I tried searching and the file structure didn't match how Mavericks does it with Logic Pro X.

You might want to look at this one too. Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

Duplicate pst files when openning Outlook 2010

Hello,
Each time I open iCloud in Microsoft Outlook 2010, a new .pst file is created. it has the same name, but the number increases. e.g emailaddress(1).pst, emailaddress(2).pst, etc. It also downloads the email items each time and seems to be rebuilding the pst file. Is it possible to setup Outlook, so that only one pst file is used? FYI, I'm setup using IMAP, so that multiple devises can access the email. I'm using windows 7.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated
Best regards
Tony

Thanks you all for discussing this thread, I too was a victim of email migration (migrating from apple mail to outlook in windows). Thanks to this thread I got Apple mail to pst converter Mac Version: http://applemailtopst.com/download-free-trial-applemail-to-pst-converter/.
To look out for the best tool I downloaded both the version and performed a check in both. The mac version had an extra edge s it could directly access the apple mail data and there was no need to export or archive apple mail data. Possibly it took only three
clicks to complete the coversion process and a few minutes.
Thanks once again for this thread.

How to repair corrupted PDF-File ?

Hi there !
I am having problems with a couple of PDF-files which got damaged due to a hard drive break down / file recovery action.
Neither can i open them ("...not supported") nor have several attempts in repairing them (by using Pdf-repair software) been successful.
Interesting point about it is, that in terms of file characteristics everything seems to be OK (file size, file type etc. are recognized by the computer).
Does anyone have an idea what could be done to get my PDF's back to a readable status ?
Thanks     timrelo
Ps: In case you got an idea about how to fix a corrupted pdf-file, i am willing to send you one of my files.
      To do so, please send an email to    [email protected]    and i will email you a file.

Hi Bernd,
unfortunately i don't have the root-file (indesign etc.) to re-create/export a new pdf.
all i got is a couple of restored (from the crashed hard drive) pdf files which are indicated as being "corrupt/damaged".
greets   tim

Outlook 2007 .ost file corrupt / scanpst.exe 3-4x daily & 3 to 4 runs before "clean", long term issue - need help on how to repair my .OST FILE once and for all, please...

I've had many issues with my .ost data file (couple years) with: very slow going into outlook 2007, scanpst.exe 3-4x before its "clean", and have to run it few times daily.
No major issues i can pinpoint, but just SLOW, hangs at times, file less than 1GB, IT people just mess it up more, etc.
NEED some PROFESSIONAL minds to help me get this data file cleaned up once and for all... forever hopefully.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Why the need to repair it?
You could:
1. Create a new Outook profile a different name and a new ost will be created ( leaving the old one there)
2. Close up Outlook completely, delete the existing.ost and re-open Outlook to create a new one.
3. Close Outlook completely and rename the existing .ost and re-open Outlook to create a new one.
