Few months back, I upgraded my MS Outlook from 2002 to 2007. All ended well and after that I wanted to get my previous PST files in this account, so I moved all of them. But the final results came out to be very drastic. When I clicked on one of them to have the important deal information from the mail sent by my customer, the file did not open. The same case was with other files too. I thought this was the case PST corruption and an urgent need of PST recovery was there for me.
At this point of time, I was feeling very restless and wanted the reason for the same. After searching on the internet, the cause stroked was of some format related problems. Actually in earlier versions of Microsoft Outlook, format called Unicode was supported to the contacts list and body of the PST files. But the newer file versions support Unicode storage for whole of the PST files. In terms of computing, Unicode is an industry standard which allows the systems to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world’s writing systems.
Microsoft has used this format for PST files in order to enhance the features of earlier PST files. Early PST files had various limitations but Unicode has overcome most of them. Unicode, as the name suggests, provides a single code set in which unique numbers are assigned to any letter or character, regardless of the language. This code acts as the multilingual format and hence supports better support to many languages.
The most of the important limitation that has been overcome by this format is resolving the 2GB file size problem of PST files, which used to be the major cause of PST corruption earlier. Later studies suggested me that directly moving the PST files has been the reason for my specific problem. Actually this requires a systematic procedure and direct moving only creates PST corruption. I was unaware of this fact and thus ended up with this situation.
The procedure includes two steps viz. creating a new data file and then importing the items into this data file. This was first experience after making this findings, I was in the need of perfect tool which could repair Outlook PST.
The situation was very critical for me and could be even more for other users who are using MS outlook. So at this point of time relying on the any of the PST repair tool would be a foolish gesture and so I was in the wait of the most reliable software.
Then one of the sources told me that Stellar Phoenix Outlook PST Repair software is the most advanced help. So I opted for the same and finally this software resolved all my issues of PST corruption and repaired all the e-mail messages included in various folders.
