Recover .PST files

[Bahco]

I am using Outlook on Windows 7 and seem to have lost all my sent items and other back up emails in the program.

I havent deleted them and the pst files are in my documents folder. I do need them back in Outlook but it is not finding them.

Can anyone help me recover them so that I have a record of email activity for the last few months.
Thanks

Is it:
File - Import/Export - Import from another File or Program - Personal Folder File(pst) and then browse to where you have your pst files stored?

If I remember correctly:

Outllook Express - .dbx

Outlook - .pst

Outllook Express - .dbx

Outlook - .pst

Correct, with exchange using .ost files.

sanpst.exe might fix it for you. Back up your existing pst file first though

Correct, with exchange using .ost files.

.ost files are only used for working offline.

Better to go for any third party application like “remo outlook repair” to recover pst file. AS I also used this utility to recover outlook notes and it recover my notes with in few simple steps. You can also try it.

Why don't you try some third-party PST recovery tools? They are designed to recover your data from corrupt .pst files as well as normal .pst files if data have been deleted accidentally or due to any reason.
I can recommend you SysInfoTools PST File Repair tool that helps you restore the lost data from your .pst file. You can try its free demo version to view the preview of recovered data.
Go to SysInfoTools to read more about this software and to download its demo version.
