Key Repair Features
Outlook PST Repair can correct errors that prevent opening or viewing PSTs, including corruption that renders the file inaccessible. It also supports password-protected PSTs and can recover their contents even when you don’t have the password. The quick-scan option speeds up detection, and selective recovery lets you choose specific folders or items to restore.
