Scan Exchange 2010 for corrupt emails

I have a few users that are experiencing issues when opening up outlook and i'd like to scan the store in hope it will uncover some corrupt emails which I can remove, can you suggest the best way to do this?

In a case like that I would recommend using something like Kernel Data Recovery for Exchange Server. This will let you Scan your EDB databases offline (so that it does not impact the performance of Exchange) and you can perform a low level scan which does a much better job than ESEUtil.

You can use "New-MailboxRepairRequest" cmdlet to check the corruption level of Exchange 2010 and, this cmdlet will also help you to fix mailbox corruption: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625226(v=exchg.141).aspx

However, if still you are not able to fix your Exchange database, you can take help of Stellar Phoenix Exchange Recovery Software to repair your corrupt exchange database file to restore all in inaccessible mailbox items without causing server downtime.
