I'm using Mac Outlook 2001. The Personal Files Folder (.pst) suddenly
went corrupt. I get an error message "Errors encountered" when I try to
open the file.

Below is what Microsoft said to do. It didn't work (what's new).

The .pst file that went corrupt didn't change in file size so I don't see
how it could be corrupt. My question is: Is there a reader
application that can open Outlook .pst files? Or any other suggestions
how to fix it?

>>> MS says:

see if your PST file is not locked, PST File > select it > File > get info >
check the locked box.

then try these options, you will have to use inbox repair tool from outlook
installed on win pc, as there is no such utility for outlook 2001 for Mac to
run on Mac, but Win PC can be used to recover data from PST from Mac
machines:

There's your problem. I have never seen a more problematic piece of
software, Mac or PC. Of course, I only see the PC version, but no other
mail client has as many problems as Outlook. We usually recommend
Outlook Express as the free client for PC users. Netscape is second.
Some of our users like Eudora. Anything is better than Outlook! Pine or
elm anyone?

Your long term solution is to use the Mail app that comes with OS X and
get rid of Outlook.

We were ordered to use Outlook because the company uses an Outlook email
server.................

The company has 200 Windows boxes and 4 Macs. Guess where the support
goes???

RecoveryFix for Outlook is sophisticated tool to retrieve emails from corrupt PST files. It recovers complete items from a corrupt PST file and sends to new PST, EML or MSG file. This software successfully fixes all corruption issues of PST file such as 2 GB storage limitation, CRC and Jet Engine errors. The Outlook recovery software fully supports email recovery from password protected PST files. Converted files by this software can be accessed with MS Outlook or Outlook Express.

Thanks

Hi friend,

You can repair your corrupted Outlook PST file using "Inbox Repair Tool" which comes pre installed with MS office. But this repair tool fails to fix severely corrupt PST file. In this kind of situation you can use a PST repair software such as Yodot Outlook PST Repair to repair corrupted PST and recover all the Outlook elements from it. Click the below link for more details

First you should try scanpst, inbuilt utilities to analyze and fix the issues in your Outlook .ost file. In case, these tools do not work then you may go for a third party OST repair application to repair and fix the problem. An effective and reliable OST repair application that you may try is here:

Outlook PST file corruption becomes a big issue for Microsoft Outlook users because that time no one can access PST data without recovery process. Minor corruption can be fixed using Microsoft Inbox Repair tool but most of time its shows an errors message. In other hand you can use alternative solution (Outlook recovery software) to fix corrupt PST file with full data integrity.
