Question

Outlook PST file empty after using SCANPST.EXE

Jun 13, 2015 4:56PM PDT

Hello,

When I opened Outlook, I received a message that the PST file had errors and needed to be repaired with scanpst. After I ran scanpst, I opened Outlook to find all of my mail, appointments, tasks, and rules gone.

Can someone please help me! I have tons of pictures and precious moments and conversations with family and friends, as well as reminders of things coming up. It would be truly heartbreaking to find out that this data is lost forever. I'm just asking for someone to please help me out here.

Thank you,
- Michael Jones
