Recovering deleted email from an outlook .PST file

[Fraser Corrance]

Hello all!

I have a client who accidentally deleted a folder full of emails in Outlook. Right after doing this she realized what she had done and shut the computer down and is on her way in. Oddly enough, I have never had anyone request this sort of recovery before. Is there any particular program that any of you would recommend using to do this sort of recovery? 

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. 

Thanks.

Hi Jol,

I guess that’s what I get for asking before I have the project in hand. Hopefully, it’s really just that simple.

I will let you know once I look at it.

Thanks for the reality check. Lol

Fraser, if the folder has been permanently deleted, make sure "compress PST" has not been ran, here's how I have recovered deleted items in the past. Hope it works for you.

1. Open the PST in the Hex editor.
2. Delete positions 7 through 13 with the spacebar. Since you're using hexadecimal numbering,
3. this actually clears 13 characters in the following positions:
4. 
   00007, 00008, 00009, 0000a, 0000b, 0000c, 0000d,0000e, 0000f, 00010, 00011, 00012, 00013
   As you clear the characters, the editor displays the code “20” in their position.
5. 
   



6. Save the PST, it is now corrupted.
7. Run the Inbox Repair Tool, SCANPST.exe, to recover the file. 
8. The Inbox Repair Tool creates a backup and repairs the damage and recreates the PST.
