Corrupt PST File

[Gareth Saunders]

Hi there

I'm hoping you're able to help. I have a user with a small 48MB PST file.
I'm unsure as to how he's created this file, but it's effectively taken one
month of e-mail, calendar and sent items etc. However when trying to open it,
this file is reported as corrupt. I've run the scanpst.exe file on it, and it
reports it as having 6 folder and a few errors and repairs the file. However,
when opening the file through Outlook, all I see are two folders, deleted
items and search folders.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Gareth Saunders

It could be that those folders were beyond repair for scanpst.exe. You could
try it with a commercial repairing tool like;
