Outlook PST files contain treasure troves of mission-critical data of an organization. This data is used for various key business operations, such as eDiscovery, strategic planning, and implementation of organization's policies. As there is a continuous inflow of email messages, PST file management is a serious challenge.
Outlook personal folders (.PST) file get oversized easily and becomes susceptible to corruption when it reaches the maximum file size limit (2 GB for Outlook 2002 and earlier). Storage media corruption may also damage your PST files and if these files are not included in your regular backup and maintenance plan, it may result in permanent loss of data. Other reasons responsible for PST corruption are malware attacks, abnormal termination of Outlook, and hardware failures.
If you have backed up important emails to another PST, you can open this PST file in your mailbox to access all the damaged or inaccessible mail items. A folder corresponding to the data file will be displayed in the 'Folder' list. By default, the added folder will carry the name 'Personal Folders'.
Outlook Data loss may also occur due to trivial reasons like accidental deletion of emails. This is certainly the most common case of data loss from PST files and in a way, can wreak havoc on your organization. The emails inadvertently deleted from the 'Deleted Items' folder or other mail folders remain in the PST file until they are compacted manually or by Outlook.
