How to Repair Damaged Outlook .pst Files

Outlook PST File Overview 

Microsoft Outlook is a powerful all-in-one personal information manager that tracks email, schedules, tasks, and includes a host of other features. Unfortunately the program architecture puts all your digital information in one basket. The Outlook PST file is the single repository for your digital life. When it becomes corrupt or damaged, you risk the loss of every piece of information in Outlook. Many common problems with PST files can be fixed, but you need to know how.

If you can't open your Personal Folders file (.pst), or you suspect that your .pst data file is corrupted, you can use the EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard to diagnose and repair errors in the file. The EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard scans only the .pst file, not your mailbox on the server running Microsoft Exchange. The utility determines whether the file structure is intact. If it is not intact, the EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard resets your file structure and rebuilds the headers.
