If your computer has Microsoft Outlook? Data, you are using your personal folder file (.pst) or offline folder file (.ost). To prevent data loss, you need to know how to fix these files.
If your .pst file is damaged, a tool contained in Outlook may fix the fault without switching to a backup copy. This tool is a inbox repair tool that is installed on the hard disk when you install Outlook.
If your .ost file is damaged, a tool contained in Outlook may fix the fault. This tool is an OST integration tool that scans and fixes .Ost files. If the tool can't completely solve the problem, you can disable the .ost file and create a new .ost file.
Repair your personal folder file (.pst)
If you receive the following information when you open Outlook.pst file, you may need to use the Inbox Repair Tool:

Fix offline folder file (.ost)
If you encounter the following, you may need to scan and fix your .ost file:
· I encountered a large number of conflict items.
• When offline, you cannot open a specific Outlook project.
· Receive an unexpected synchronous error message (such as the synchronous record shown in the Delete item folder).
· Receive the following information:
Can't expand the folder. You cannot open the folder set. Errors may be detected in file drive: / documents and settings / user / local settings / application data / microsoft / outlook / outlook.ost. Exit all mail enabled applications and use the Inbox Repair tool.
Note This information specified by this information may vary depending on the operating system used by the computer.
In addition, you may open the folder in .Ost, but has always synchronized error message. This phenomenon occurs in a single email damage, while synchronous processing cannot correct. You can use the OST integration tool to repair damaged messages or remove these messages, so you can successfully implement synchronization.
Points If the OST integration tool can't open the .ost file, you may need to run ScanpSt.exe first (see the first step described above).
To scan and fix the .ost file
1. Turn off Outlook.
2. On the Start menu, click Run.
3. In the "Open" box, enter
Drive: / program files / common files / system / mapi / localid / scanost.exe
