OK serious note :nerd: What you can try, no idea if it will work or not, rename the file back to .pst

Download and run Recoverytoolbox for Outlook (www.recoverytoolbox.com) -- its a damn good program for recovering corrupted and damaged pst files.

Its a long shot, BUT it may just be able to read them and recover. Its free as a trial, and will go to the point of recovery, then you need to pay for the license.

IF it works, you'll be the "Bees Knees" -- if it doesn't all its done is cost you a bit of time trying.Am going to try this today sometime - will let you know how it goes

We have one very outside option left.. a backup was done of 'an' Outlook account quite some time ago.... we are trying to confirm if this was a backup of the affected account.
