Why ScanPST.exe is Not Enough for a Damaged Outlook Data File
Four limits of the Inbox Repair Tool that Microsoft documents, and what PCVITA PST repair software does instead.
- 1
Several Passes and Still No Promise
Microsoft notes that ScanPST.exe can need several passes on one file, and items that are permanently deleted or corrupted beyond repair stay lost. Advance scan in PCVITA Outlook PST Repair Tool goes deeper in one pass and recovers deleted items.
- 2
ScanPST Changes the Original File
Inbox Repair Tool writes its fixes into your PST and leaves a .bak copy. Items it cannot place land in a Lost and Found folder. PCVITA tool repairs the PST or that BAK file and saves the result as new files.
- 3
Size Limits Stop Outlook First
ANSI PST files stop at 2 GB. Unicode PST files default to 20 GB in Outlook 2003 and 2007 and 50 GB in Outlook 2010 and later. Near the limit, sending and moving items fails. PCVITA tool repairs a PST file of any size.
- 4
No Decryption, No Other Formats
Inbox Repair Tool fixes the file structure and nothing else. PCVITA PST repair software removes email encryption and exports the repaired items in six formats, from a new PST file to a Microsoft 365 mailbox.
Prepare Before Using the Outlook PST Repair Tool
Seven checks before the first repair. Tick them off, then open the tool.
- Keep a copy of the damaged PST file and of the Outlook.bak file if you already ran ScanPST.exe. Microsoft recommends a backup before any repair.
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later on a Windows machine with 100 MB free disk space and 2 GB RAM.
- Open the tool with Run as Administrator on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 or Vista.
- Collect certificates and keys for encrypted mail, the S/MIME certificate with its password or the OpenPGP private key with its password.
- Install Outlook only if you export contacts, calendars, tasks, notes or journals to PST with the Use Outlook option. Every other export works without Outlook.
- Set up admin impersonation on the Microsoft 365 admin account if you export the repaired data there.
- Test the free demo on your file before you buy. Download the Outlook PST Repair Tool demo, preview every item and export 25 from every folder.
System lines match the Specifications table below, and the backup line follows the Microsoft support page linked in the Sources.

Inbox Repair Tool facts come from Repair Outlook Data Files (Microsoft Support). Size limits come from Configure the size limit for Outlook data files (Microsoft Learn). Tool facts come from the Specifications and Features sections above.
PST Size Limit Check Before You Blame Corruption
- ANSI PST files (Outlook 2002 and earlier format) stop at 2 GB, and Outlook ignores any higher setting.
- Unicode PST files default to 20 GB in Outlook 2003 and 2007.
- Unicode PST files default to 50 GB in Outlook 2010 and later.
- Near the warning size, Outlook starts compaction, and sending, copying, moving and Auto-Archive fail until space is freed.
- PST files that hit the limit open with errors that look like corruption. Repair the file, then export to a fresh PST or split the data by date.
Open the Software Guide for the date filter and export options that keep the output PST under the limit.

No. PCVITA PST repair software repairs ANSI and Unicode PST files of any size, including archive PST files, without a size restriction. Outlook version does not matter either.
How long does a 20 GB PST file take to repair?
Repair time depends on the file size and the level of corruption. Light damage on a 20 GB file finishes faster on Quick scan. Severe corruption that stops Outlook from opening the file takes longer on Advance scan, so start the scan and keep the machine on.

Yes. Click Add File, choose Search File and select Search Selected Drive or Search All Drives. Outlook PST Repair Tool lists every data file it finds. Tick the files you need and they repair in one session.

Where is my PST file if I do not know its location?
Let the tool find it. Outlook stores PST files in different folders by version and Windows edition. Choose Search File, then Search All Drives, and PST repair tool lists every data file on the machine with its path.
