Outlook Inbox Repair Tools


Today was the second time my Outlook 2003 offline message store got corrupted. This time it was due to me killing the machine (instead of shutdown) since it was frozen.

use SCANPST.EXE (usually in [program files]\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033) for both PST and OST files.

How to use the Inbox Repair Tools to recover e-mail messages in Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2003

(this time, I had to run the SCANOST.EXE first. Wouldn't run when in "offline" mode. Figured out that I had to start Outlook, even though it was hosed, and wouldn't show messages...get out of "offline" mode, then close Outlook. ScanOST found a problem, and prompted me to run SCANPST.EXE on the .OST file)
