    Hello everyone! I have been using Microsoft Outlook 2016 application for email communication. But now I am not able to access my OST file data. I think My OST file is corrupted. I tried the SCANPST.EXE tool to repair OST files, but it fails to repair the OST file. Can anyone tell the reason of corruption of OST file? Is there have any other solution in case Scanpst fails to repair OST file.

    Hello, If your Scanpst does not repair OST file then I suggest you to use this OST to PST converter application. This software can easily repair OST file and allows the option to convert into PST/ MSG / MSG/ Office 365 and HTML. This application can also remove and decrypt S/MIME and OpenPGP encrypted OST file emails. Even technical and Non Technical user can also use this software with ease. I hope this will solve your Scanpst Fails to Repair OST File.
