Is it possible to recover deleted e-mails and the entire contents in an Outlook 2010 PST file? Also, the size of the PST file is very large. Is there any solution to recover deleted data from Outlook and reduce the size of the file. Please suggest a solution for this.

Hi, nTo recover deleted emails and reduce PST file size in Outlook here is the best OST Reader Tool. This tool provides the great utility for viewing all permanently deleted OST emails, contacts or other items within few clicks. It also split and divide the oversized exported PST file into multiple sections in a symmetrical file size.
