What it repairs
- Folders that open empty — when a folder's mail list is damaged, the mails are still inside the file. The software rebuilds the list from the mails themselves, so they appear again.
- Files Outlook will not open — damaged parts are skipped, everything readable is written to a clean new PST.
- Mails, folders, attachments, calendar and contacts — the folder tree is kept as it was.
- An honest report — at the end it tells you how many folder lists were rebuilt, how many mails came back, and how many were too damaged to save.
- Your original file is never changed — the repair is written to a new PST.

Questions
Will the PST repair change my original file?
No. The software only reads the damaged PST and writes a new, repaired PST next to it. Your original file stays exactly as it was.
scanpst.exe ran but my mails are still missing. Can this help?
Often yes. When a folder's mail list is damaged, the mails are still inside the file but Outlook cannot see them. DataExpert PST Repair rebuilds that list from the mails themselves, so they show up again.
Can I check my file before I pay?
Yes. The free trial opens the PST and shows every folder and the number of mails in it. Saving the repaired PST needs a licence key (valid 1 year).
Does it also convert OST to PST?
Yes, it is the same program. See OST to PST Converter.
What if the file is too badly damaged?
