If your PST (Personal Storage Table) file is corrupted, preventing you from accessing your Outlook data, there are several methods you can try to recover it:

1. Run the Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe):
   • Microsoft Outlook includes a built-in tool called Scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool) that can repair corrupted PST files.
   • Search for "Scanpst.exe" on your computer. The location may vary depending on your Outlook version and installation.
   • Run Scanpst.exe and select the corrupted PST file you want to repair.
   • Follow the prompts to start the repair process. Scanpst.exe will attempt to fix any errors in the PST file.
2. Use Third-Party PST Repair Tools:

   • There are many reputable third-party tools available, such as Aryson Outlook PST Recovery, Outlook PST Repair, and ConverterTools for PST Recovery.
   • Download and install the chosen PST repair tool, then follow the instructions to repair the corrupted PST file.
3. Recover from Backup:
   • If you have a recent backup of your Outlook data, you can restore the PST file from the backup.
   • Look for any backup files or copies of the PST file you may have saved previously.
   • Restore the backup file to the default Outlook data file location or import it into Outlook.
4. Use Outlook's Import/Export Wizard:
   • If you have another PST file that contains some of the same data as the corrupted file, you can use Outlook's Import/Export wizard to transfer data from the corrupted PST file to the new one.
   • Create a new PST file in Outlook if you haven't already done so.
   • Open the Import/Export wizard in Outlook and choose the option to import data from another program or file.
   • Select the corrupted PST file as the source and follow the prompts to import the data into the new PST file.
5. Professional Data Recovery Services:
