I am using Outlook 2010 on my system. I want to ask about the Outlook ost file corrupted problem. How can I fix this? If someone knows, then please tell me.
To resolve this issue, you have to perform these operations to your outlook:
1. First, exit from Outlook.
2. Then, move to the folder specified:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
3. Now, double-click on file Scanpst.exe.
4. Then, in the dialog box of Microsoft Outlook Inbox Repair Tool, click on Browse.
5. Now, select your Outlook data file which is either .pst or .ost, then clicks on Open.
6. Then, click start in the Microsoft Outlook Inbox Repair Tool window.
7. After successful scanning of your files, review your information.
8. Click repair and then click OK.
If you use Microsoft Office Outlook as email client, there may come a time when the Outlook data file can get corrupted. If Microsoft Office Outlook can’t open a set of folders and you think the Outlook Data File is damaged (.pst or .ost), you can use the Inbox Repair tool or “SCANPST.EXE” to check and repair errors in the data file.
To begin checking the problem, first, close Microsoft Office Outlook if it is running. Next, open Windows Explorer then navigate to one of these locations:
Next, look for “SCANPST.EXE” then double-click it. On the next screen, select “Browse” then navigate to the location of the PST or OST file (.pst or .ost) and select it. To locate these files, in Microsoft Office Outlook, go to “File”, “Account Settings” then “Account Settings”. Go to “Data Files” tab.
Here, the Outlook Data Files (.pst) and Offline Data Files (.ost) are listed along with the name of the account the files are associated with. Take note of their locations. Once the file is located and selected, click “Start” to begin the scan. If the scan finds errors, click “Repair” to start fixing them.
When the repair is complete, start Microsoft Office Outlook with the profile associated with the Outlook Data File you just repaired.
