This is a software utility that can repair damaged inbox files in outlook.
When a PST file is damaged, Outlook starts giving out error messages. Users are thus unable to access his / her emails, contacts, notes, drafts, etc. Typically you start getting “Errors have been detected in file `file_path`,” “Unable to expand the folder,” “The file could not be repaired therefore cannot be reopened,” kind of messages that indicate corruption in the PST files. Unless the PST files are repaired when such messages start appearing, the files would be lost completely. The Outlook PST repair tool starts by scanning the damaged files and recovers the items. the mail items could be recovered even when emptying of the trash folder has been done. The damaged ones are highlighted in red color in the listing displayed at the end of the scan. You have some built in search features to find the specific mail item you are looking for.
You can just save the recovered items, identified after scan, as .pst, .msg, .dbx, or .eml format so that you could either use the Outlook or the outlook Express to read these items. All the versions starting from 97 to 2010 are supported. The interface looks quite like the Outlook interface so that you do not need familiarization time but get started quickly. Microsoft does have an Inbox repair tool but that only looks for header errors mainly, thus it is kind of limited in its effectiveness. On the other hand this tool can take care of accidental deletion, malicious virus actions and damaged or deleted header structure of PST file, 2GB limitation errors and broken file issues. Inbox repair tool can repair all email attachments, image files, zipped attachments, contact addresses, notes, journals, calendar and email properties such as To, From, Subject, CC, BCC etc. This is thus a potentially very useful tool.
