mausbiber Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi all I changed system from WinXP to WIN7. Before I copied the encrypted PST-File to another HD and back again after new installation of Outlook . Outlook didn't recognize the PST-File. I used scanpst.exe and then pstpassword.exe to get access to a password. Now I can open the PST-file with Outlook. But it seems many of the emails have disappeared. For the received emails it is not a big problem, because I use a gmail-account as backup. But I don't have copies of the sent emails. In the PST-file there is no more any sent-folder. In a lost&found-folder the scanpst-program has stored some sent-emails but only up to about August 2013. All other emails I have sent after August until end of 2014 I cannot find. I tried also some "professional" tools (stellar phönix and scanpst-exe). The result was only marginal better, offering recovery of about 50 items more - and no one from the missing sent-emails. I know Google shows me a lot of recovery-tools. But I don't want to download all of them without a chance the program is better working then scanpst from Microsoft. Does anybody has good experience with the recovery of a PST-file, especially where the scanpst.exe could not deliver all of the sent-emails? If yes which tool did you use? Thanks a lot for all helpful answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Rather than just dumping the pst file in the appropriate directory, try doing a backup recovery of the pst file in Outlook. If you don't have the backup/restore addon you can download from MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If you used your google account as your outgoing/send SMTP user then all outgoing emails should be available in that same google account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
