If your Outlook PST file is corrupted and not opening in Outlook, you can recover it using a reliable method. The built-in SCANPST tool sometimes fails to restore mails, attachments, calendar, and contacts.

In such cases, the advanced solution from VSoftware helps you repair the complete PST file safely. Their PST Repair Tool scans the corrupted file and restores all mailbox items without any data loss. It works even when Outlook shows errors or refuses to open the file.

This tool can recover:

  • Emails
  • Contacts
  • Calendars
  • Attachments
  • Deleted mailbox items
After recovery, you can save everything into a new healthy PST file and import it back into Outlook.
