Corrupted PST Won't Repair
Yesterday I tried to move an e-mail from the inbox in my default PST to a PST I use for filing. I received a message that it couldn't move because the file was corrupt and I should run scanpst.
STEP ONE: I ran scanpst, but the problem persisted. STEP TWO: I checked the file size and it was large (about 2.4G I believe) so I emptied the deleted items folders, and moved the sent mail to other folders. I then compacted the database. Now it was about 665K I think. The error persisted. STEP THREE: I ran scanpst again after the compacting and the error still persisted. STEP FOUR: I renamed the pst file and moved it to a different folder and then restored a pst file from two days ago from a backup when Outlook was working fine. The problem still persisted. This is a critical show-stopper since I am afraid to receive e-mail into a file that may be corrupt (or since the backup which worked fine earlier now shows corrupt perhaps the problem is Outlook itself). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dale |

You got some problem..
Maybe awnser to the following questions will help.. Where do you save your PST? Where do you run scanpst from? How did you install scanpst? Ofcourse Reinstalling can always be a solution, but you must have all of your mails online, or in the PST file (what is not possible cos that's corrupted :/ ) Also, do you have any other problem involving wrong storage of files, and files getting corrupted? I hope I can help! Joost |

It turns out the message was not telling me the pst I use for the inbox was corrupted, but rather the pst that I was using as a filing cabinet and moving the messages to, was corrupted. Running scanpst on that fixed the problem.
