Why an External Utility of Which Outlook Recovery is an Exemplar?

Though Microsoft takes all precautions and devises best methods to develop its applications including Outlook so that issues do not occur in the email client, some cases do arise which are often caused due to users negligence, lack of knowledge and some due to other factors such as malicious software, Trojans attack, virus and many other vivid reasons.

Therefore, I as an expert too think that external, third party tools can be brought in usage to avoid complications and get back to work with the concerned mail client as soon as possible. The reason being, that although in-built tools have been provided its usage is difficult and require external expertise. Also, large amount of time needs to be invested which is not feasible at all in a busy work schedule. Work cannot be left at bay in hanging for such long time. Therefore, it is suggested to opt for any suitable commercial tool of which Outlook Recovery is an example, which gives good response in fixing issues of Outlook made for Windows PC.

Problems & Solutions Discussed

Ø  Various Issues That Can Arise in Outlook and How Outlook Recovery Can Cope Up With them is discussed in this section of the review.

There are three disastrous cases that can occur with Outlook for Windows such as Outlook 2013, 2010, 2007 and below versions. The main problems are as follows:

1. Minor Corruption Issue in PST File
2. Major Damage Caused to Outlook File
3. Permanent Deletion of Outlook data files i.e. Shift Deleted Items

I. Let’s begin with situation mentioned at the top where the Outlook PST file has minor corruption issue.

Problem - In such scenarios the data file gets inaccessible leading to all the data items stored within, such as emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, journals, etc. unattainable. Sometimes many errors also pop up with different messages.

Solution - To deal with such cases the tool has been featured with a recovery mode called Quick Scan. When this mode of recovery is selected it successfully scans and recovers the files having minor corruption issues. Thereafter, all the stored data items get easily accessible.

II. In continuation with the series of problems, comes the situation mentioned at second position i.e. when PST files are severely damaged.

Problem – Similarly, in this case also, the .pst files arerendered inaccessible that makes all the data items of Personal Folders of Outlook account unreachable and also errors with message of high severity corruption prompts up. In such cases when the files are extremely corrupted, it becomes impossible to recover them by the Quick Scan recovery mode of the tool.

Solution - To deal with such cases the software has been characterized with a recovery mode called Advance Scan. With this mode of recovery having been selected, the files affected by major corruption issues get eventually scanned and recovered. Subsequently, all the data items stored within the Personal Storage Table get accessible without any error.

III. Another problem that can arise with the PST file is the permanent deletion of data items.

Problem – Permanent deletion of data items can occur either accidentally or knowingly. This type of data removal takes place either by (Shift+ Delete) or by removal of items from Deleted Items folder of Outlook also including from the original location.

Solution – In such cases also the Advance Scan recovery mode provided in the tool comes to rescue. This recovery mode is such an advanced solution that it even recovers permanently deleted items that are often believed to be unrecoverable.

Comment – These are the three major issues often faced with Outlook whose resolution is easily provided by the Outlook Recovery without any hindrance.

Several Tasks Accomplished With Advance Scan

Some more tasks that can be accomplished with the Advance Scan recovery mode are as follows:

Ø  Can retrieve files that get damaged due to file size limitation of 2 GB.
