Outlook PST is not a personal folders file
Dear Experts,
I have a critical problem with outlook file.
it says "Outlook.pst is not a personal folder file."
I have very important information in it . please help at the earliest to retrieve this file.
I restored the backup but outlook from backup says the same error.
I scanned the pst file which 1.49GB with SCANPST. it tried to scan and repair but there is nothing coming in outlook after scanning the file with scanpst. it created outlook.bak but any use of that.
Regards,
Sanjeev Kumar

sorry chcw, it has some confidential data which cannot be shared.
OK. I understand your concerns, although a raw data file analysis may help to find out what is the problem with the PST file.
