Editor's review
Tool for restoring data from damaged or corrupted PST files of Outook. Outlook Recovery ToolBox saves the recovered information in a new PST file(s). The program can extract and save messages as .eml files, contacts as .vcf files. It also has a OST to PST converter.
Pros: Outlook Recovery ToolBox is a software product for restoring destroyed or damaged data files of Microsoft Outlook mail client included in the Microsoft Office package. Outlook stores its data in PST files which contain messages, contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and journals. The application is able to read from the damaged PST files and recover/regenerate the same. Based on user choice it can be one or more files.
The folder structure of new PST files remains similar to the original data structure of the damaged files. Messages and other objects are recovered with attachments, if they have any. The program is a simple, clear and easy to use wizard. Settings in the wizard is easy and really consists of naming the appropriate files. PST files created by Outlook Recovery Toolbox can be easily transported and added to Outlook. An important feature of the program is that it does not re-index, modify or delete initial data files.
Recovered messages can be stored as EML files that can be read by mail clients other than Outlook too. Contacts data can go into a VCF file and the sticky notes can be saved into text files. This tool is able to recover the off line storage or the OST files of MS Exchange and convert to PST format. The application acts as OST recovery tool.
Cons: In one session the tool recovers just one PST file. To recover more the application will have to be run more number of times. This could be a limitation at times, a batch recovery function would be a great help.
Overall a nice application, a definite 3 starrer.
