Hi all.

I need your help again, please.

I have a 2GB Outlook PST file that needs to be repaired. The problem is that the Microsoft tools (SCANPST and 2GB trimmer) don't work.

I've tried trimming the file and repairing it, but to no avail. Just as it reaches the end of Phase 6 (of it throws an error.

There are other tools out there that can see the emails, but I have to pay a stupidly high price to recover the emails. I'm looking for a free program to please do this instead.

I'm kinda desperate - please, does anyone know of any FREE programs to recover Outlook PST files?

Thanks.

Did you try it, does it work? (Getting a horrible de ja vu like feeling here)

I had a look at that program, and it doesn't seem to be doing what I need it to do. It's used to find deleted/lost files on your harddrive.

It doesn't really matter. The customer has to deal with the loss of her emails - she was warned against letting her mailbox get too big.

Thanks anyways.

Thanks.
