Write commentsHi,
ReplyThanks for sharing information about scanpst.exe.
But as this utility has some limitations like it can not repair file that exceeds the size of 2 GB and sometimes also after using this utility the original pst file might get changed. So it is necessary to either have a backup of pst file or use a third party tool to repair corrupt pst file.

I have many emails on my PC. But such trouble is very unpleasant and probably the next program would become the best solution for solving out like issues with outlook - pst file viewer.
