PST file plays an important role in your professional life since it is used by Outlook to store all the emails, Contacts, Events, Meeting Requests, Appointments, etc. But the main problem with the .pst file is that it is susceptible to corruption. There are many reasons due to which a PST file gets corrupt. Some of them are filed below:-

Accessing your .pst file over the network: On a network the PST file needs frequent access. But the PST may be unable to support the frequent access over the network. Since .pst file is in database format, then it may receive some garbage values which results in corruption.

Operating with more number of emails: Outlook will impasse if you operate with more number of emails. It is experimented that Outlook can handle up to 10000 mails at a time. If you try to send, copy delete or move more than 10000 mails, Outlook may impasse, then you need to terminate it abnormally which may result in corrupting .pst file.

Once PST file is corrupted Outlook starts showing abrupt behavior and pops up some errors at opening like “xxxx.pst can not be accessed – 0×80040116” or “The file xxxx.pst is not a personal folders file”, etc. Since Outlook uses a single .pst file to store all the data related to one particular account, upon corruption there are chances of losing all the information which you saved in your Outlook profile. In this case the possible solutions is using backup of the .pst file or fix corrupted PST file. If you don’t have backup then the only way to resolve this problem is using some good PST recovery software.

At this point of time, you might be thinking of scanpst.exe, but there are some other third party tools which can do a better job than scanpst.exe. They are developed by understanding the severity of your Outlook data. They treat your .pst file as read-only, scan the entire file, extract the data and create a new .pst file which contains all your Outlook data. They recover all your emails along with the header which help you to categorize them easily.

Being a regular user of Outlook you might know about .pst file, which is used by MS Outlook to store all its data related to your account on local hard drive. Outlook uses a single .pst file for each Outlook account. If you use Outlook from long time, you would have lot of your personal and professional information stored in your profile i.e. in .pst file.

As there you can fix corrupted PST file using some Outlook recovery tool, but before that it is good to know the reasons for .pst file corruption. There are various reasons for the missing Outlook data, which is due to the corruption of the PST file, here are few reasons that explains the corruption of the PST file like:

• Corruption caused by third party application:  While scanning your hard drive with an anti virus program, if your .pst file is accumulated with more number of emails, it slow down the operation, which may leads to .pst file corruption.

• Abnormal termination of Outlook:  At any point of time if you come across any power failure or system crash while accessing your .pst file, Outlook will terminate abnormally without saving any data, which may leads to .pst file corruption.

• Over sized PST file:  The .pst files have a maximum limit on the files depending on the Outlook version. If the size of the PST file exceeds this pre defined limit, the PST file may get corrupt. This is the most frequently seen scenario with results in corruption of the PST file and Outlook data loss.

You can use PST repair tool to fix the corruption in Outlook PST. First I suggest you to use integrated tool which comes with Outlook i.e. scanpst.exe. However in certain cases the .pst file is highly corrupted, scanpst.exe will fail to repair it. In such circumstances make use of some third party tool.

In an organization to communicate with the employees, mostly emails are used for scheduling meetings, sending daily reports, dealing important business issues etc. So, using Microsoft Outlook has been increased rapidly within the companies than other email clients. These emails are sent and received within the fraction of second. This is because of the SMTP email server and POP 3 server that pass the emails from source to destination.

Outlook can store emails on user’s hard drive in a PST file also known as Personal Storage file. MS Outlook also limits the size of the PST. The size of the PST file may exceed in size easily. This may lead to corruption. This may result in lost or missing emails and other Outlook items.You can recover deleted emails when they are accidentally deleted or lost due to virus attack, while transferring the PST file, exceeding the maximum size limit, corrupt PST file etc. using the recovery software. This mostly depends on the PST recovery software that you are going to choose to repair the corrupt or damaged PST file.

If more emails along with attachments are sent at a time which may slow down the process of server and face problems while delivering the emails.
