1416229 2016-02-29 05:15:00 Hi,kaiadams,

There are a lot of online resources discussing about how to recovering corrupt or damaged PST files.


First, the Microsoft offical tool scanpst, also called Inbox Repair Tool, can repair the PST file, you can refer the following articles:


office.microsoft.com
support.microsoft.com
support.microsoft.com


Second, there are many third-party Outlook recovery tools you can try, below is a list of them:


www.datanumen.com


Nearly all these tools provide a free trial so you can try first to see if a tool works before purchase it.


Good luck!
