The tool is designed to recover data from a damaged or corrupted Microsoft Outlook PST and OST files. You can use the software for a converting OST files to PST files of Microsoft Outlook. Export emails from PST files to EML files of Outlook Express.
Pros: This application helps recover corrupted mail files in Outlook. Outlook mail client being the most popular client it is targeted at that. It can also recover information from MS Exchange OST files. You could convert exchange files to PST files. Outlook stores mail messages, tasks, contacts, meetings, notes and logs in files with the PST extension. Recovering data with Recovery ToolBox for Outlook reads the corrupted PST files, identifies and recovers data from this file and then saves the recovered data to one or more new PST files. The maximum size of each new file created can be up to 1GB. If the size of the source file exceeds 1GB, the program will save the recovered data to several files. The size of each created file will not exceed 1GB. The structure of folders in new PST files created coincides with the original structure of the corrupted file being recovered. If there are files attached to messages and other Outlook objects, these attachments will be recovered and saved together with recovered Outlook messages and objects from the corrupted file. Outlook 97 and mail client 98 or higher are supported. PST files protected with passwords also can be recovered. PST files larger than 2 GB can be recovered and these files can be up to 32 TB. Exchange versions supported are 5.0, 5.5, 2000/3/7. It can work with practically all versions of the Windows OS. That includes Windows 98/ME/Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP as well as Vista. Overall this application then is a PST reader, a viewer and a converter to OST files.
Cons: The effectiveness of these kinds of programs depends on how well they can actually recover data. You need to check that out from users to get a feel this.
Overall this is quite good at 3 stars.
