OutlookFIX by Cimaware Software is a dedicated third-party utility designed to repair corrupt Microsoft Outlook Personal Storage Table (.pst) files and recover deleted mailbox items. It serves as a commercial alternative to Microsoft’s built-in Inbox Repair Tool (ScanPST.exe) when local file corruption prevents Outlook from launching or functioning correctly. Core Features
Complete Mailbox Data Recovery: The tool extracts and restores all elements of a damaged PST file, including emails, attachments, contacts, calendar events, tasks, and notes.
Undelete Capabilities: It can recover permanently or accidentally deleted data from any folder within the PST structure.
Bypasses the 2GB File Limit: Older Outlook configurations often corrupt files that reach or exceed a strict 2 GB size limit; OutlookFIX is built to handle and split these oversized files safely.
Automated File Location: Users do not need to know where hidden PST files reside on their hard drives, as the software automatically scans and identifies existing profiles. Safety and Privacy Design
Local Processing: All file scanning and recovery are conducted locally on your computer, ensuring data confidentiality since your emails are never uploaded to an external server.
Non-Destructive Trial: The evaluation version operates in read-only mode, using a file viewer to preview recovered items before requiring a purchase, preventing any modification to your existing Outlook configuration. Common Problems Solved
Critical Errors on Launch: Outlook displays error warnings and refuses to open the application.
Internal App Freezes: The application opens, but errors loop or search indexes fail to function correctly.
Accidental Deletion: Items have been cleared from both the standard inbox and the “Deleted Items” bin. Alternative Free Solutions
Before using paid third-party recovery tools, you can try Microsoft’s native recovery option: Close Outlook completely.
Open File Explorer and search your system drive for SCANPST.EXE.
Run the application, click Browse to select your Outlook data file, and click Start to initiate a free local repair.
