Microsoft Outlook is undoubtedly one of the most popular email clients used by businesses and individuals the world over. However, like any software, it's also prone to crashes and errors. Probably, the most frustrating error is when your mailbox doesn't load or open, and you don't know why!

For context, Outlook stores all your mailboxes and their contents in a file with a PST extension. Sometimes, this file can get corrupted due to many reasons like excess data in a single file, viruses, etc. When your PST file becomes corrupted, you can't load your mailbox and all the data it contains in your Outlook. But don't worry because you can now repair a corrupted PST file and recover its contents using a tool called Stellar Repair for Outlook.

Read on to know more about this tool and what it can do for you.

What's Stellar Repair for Outlook?

Stellar Repair for Outlook is an advanced PST file repair tool that can recover items from a corrupted or orphaned PST file. Coming from the stables of the well-known company called Stellar Info, this product combines excellent user experience with technical superiority to safely extract your contents. A highlight of this tool is the intuitive user interface that makes it easy for you to search or select the corrupted file and its contents without worrying about the technicalities involved.

Here are more reasons to use this tool.

1. Fixes the Common Outlook PST Errors

Microsoft Outlook's PST files can get corrupted due to many reasons such as large amounts of data, viruses, network location issues, and more. To address these issues, Microsoft suggests a built-in utility called the Inbox Repair Tool. However, this tool doesn't address all the causes of corruption.

To give you an idea, the Inbox Repair Tool doesn't fix the "Fatal Error 80040818" and the "Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." Also, the Inbox Repair Tool can hang at times or report no changes. In all, this tool works only for some errors, usually mild ones.

Stellar Repair for Outlook, on the other hand, is a comprehensive tool that works well for all kinds of errors. Specifically, it can access orphaned PST files and can recover data even from the most corrupted files. Plus, it runs smoothly and there are often no malfunctions associated with it.

2. Recovers Deleted Content

Sometimes, employees may accidentally or intentionally delete content from their mailboxes. Often, it's not possible to recover these deleted emails through software. But Stellar Repair for Outlook retrieves the emails and attachments that are emptied from the "Deleted Items" folder. This recovery feature can come in handy in many situations such as detecting insider threats, pursuing legal cases against employees, accidentally purging due to unplanned system outages, and more.

3. Offers a Preview of your Content

In general, you don't need all the content stored in your mailbox. A blanket recovery process can consume your time and resources, with little value to you. This is why Stellar Repair for Outlook scans the corrupted mailbox, retrieves the content, and displays them to you in a tree-like format. The directory structure is also maintained while displaying the contents.

From this preview pane, you can choose the emails, attachments, and other objects that you want to recover, and Stellar Repair for Outlook will recover only those items for you. This way, the recovery process is quicker and your new PST file doesn't have to suffer from the same disadvantages as your corrupted file, especially if the corruption was due to enormous content. Also, recovering only selected content takes up way less time and consumes fewer resources.

4. Highly Usable

The best part about Stellar Repair for Outlook is its usability and universal appeal. This tool comes with a simple and intuitive interface, so it's easy for users of all technical levels to work on it. The entire recovery process is also seamless and as a user, you don't have to see the complex technical processes involved in the recovery.

All that you have to do is search for your PST file or browse and select it from the File Dialog box.

Once you select the folder, Stellar Repair for Outlook will take a few minutes to scan and retrieve the contents from your PST file. Depending on the size of your PST file this could take a few minutes or a few hours.

After it's done, the contents are displayed in the preview pane.

You can select the contents you want to recover and move them to your new PST file. Also, you have the option to move the contents to other file formats too like PDF, EML, HTML, and RTF.

Make sure to also mention the destination folder for your new file.

After you make the selection, the tool will start the recovery process. Again, this could take time, depending on how much content you want to extract.

Once the process is done, you get a notification. Also, you can watch the progress bar to know how long the repair process will take.

Finally, open your Outlook and load the new PST file to access the complete contents.

Repairing a corrupted PST file won't get easier than this.

Advanced Features

Other than the above-mentioned features, Stellar Repair for Outlook also supports multiple file formats. What this essentially means is that you can move your content to PST, EML, MSG, RTF, HTML, or PDF files for further processing and analysis.

Also, you can apply advanced filters to quickly select the items you want from the preview pane. You can search content based on specific email addresses, whether emails are sent or received, emails in a date range, etc. You can also choose to leave out emails from Junk or Deleted items. Such flexibility is what makes Stellar Repair for Outlook in this crowded repair tool market.

Conclusion

To conclude, Stellar Repair for Outlook is the most technically-advanced and intuitively-built repair tool for repairing Microsoft Outlook's corrupted PST files. Its advanced filters coupled with its extensive functionality make this Outlook PST file recovery software a must-have tool for every organization that relies on Outlook for business communication.
