How to Recover OST Database in Outlook?
I'm having trouble recovering my OST database in Outlook and could use some help. Recently, I've encountered issues with my Outlook profile, and it's made me unable to access my emails and data. I suspect that the OST file might be corrupted or lost, and I'm not sure how to go about restoring it to get back all my important emails and settings. If anyone has experience with recovering OST files or knows the best methods to do so, I would really appreciate your guidance on the steps I need to take. Thank you!
To recover your OST database in Outlook, first verify the OST file's location through Account Settings. If the file is corrupted, create a new Outlook profile by accessing the Mail applet in the Control Panel and setting up your email account again. If issues persist, use Microsoft’s Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) to repair the OST file. Otherwise, you have to use the OST recovery software like > connect or attach your orphan OST file here > Choose the file format PST and then export the files. Now you have a choice both methods give you results but the difference comes in the recovery period.
