The PST files are made use of by Outlook in various different ways beyond your imagination. Users typically can create additional .pst files by turning on Outlook’s Auto Archive feature, which moves older items into a .pst file on a regular schedule, or by using the File, Import and Export command to export data to a .pst file. When a new account is added to Outlook, it immediately creates a PST file for that account respectively ; All the messages from the new account that has been created, is stored in this PST file.
Despite these features of the .pst file, there are certain disadvantages that have plagued the .pst file from time to time. One of the main problems with the .pst file is that it gets corrupted very easily. Two main reasons for its corruption include corruption due to improper archiving of the .pst file, and corruption of the .pst file due to the file size exceeding the 2GB limit. In both these cases, Outlook recovery is possible, provided you take the necessary precautionary measures, and act accordingly.
Outlook Recovery can be achieved to the fullest using REMO Recover Outlook (PST) software. The software repairs the corrupted .pst file, and recovers all the deleted/lost emails, to the location of your choice.
Emails have become a part of our daily lives, and email clients like Microsoft Outlook have made it easy for us, by letting us download the emails onto our PCs, and go through them while we are offline. Outlook is used extensively, as it provides a variety of useful features like, the ability to schedule and customize out-of-office communications, and managed folders that facilitate compliance needs, calendaring functionalities, editing capabilities just to name a few.
The wide usage of Outlook has made it more prone to virus attacks, and other forms of malware, that usually result in the loss of emails. Outlook stores all the data related to emails in a personal storage folder, better known as a pst file. When we delete an email, it is directly sent to the Deleted items folder in Outlook. These emails can be accessed with ease, by clicking the Deleted items folder. It is when we archive the emails, that they get deleted from the Deleted items folder, and hence become inaccessible.
Outlook does provide an inbox repair tool known as Scanpst.exe, to recover deleted items from Outlook pst file, but it has been found to be less effective in recovering deleted emails. It is always better to use a third party recovery software, to recover deleted items from Outlook pst file.
REMO Recover Outlook (PST) software lets you recover deleted emails from the pst file with utmost ease. The software lets the user recover deleted as well as lost emails, from Microsoft Outlook.
The .pst database stores indexes that points to each outlook item. When you empty the Deleted Items folder, Outlook doesn’t actually delete the items, it just deletes the items listings from the index. The item still exists in the pst file, but is inaccessible because, Outlook has no idea where it is without the pointer in the index. The space the item takes up is just available as free space.
It’s only when you archive your pst file, that the outlook item is permanently erased, and the empty space is reclaimed. That means, when you archive a pst file, the item is removed permanently from the hard drive. This often shrinks the pst file by many megabytes. If the Deleted Items folder contains a lot of messages, Outlook may start archiving the pst file immediately and the items will be deleted forever, within a few minutes. If the folder contained any important and confidential information, it will be permanently erased from the hard disk.
