To locate the contacts in recovered data file, open outlook then press Ctrl+Shift+F then choose 'contacts' and click on 'find now' and the software will show you all the contacts that are in the PST file.

The best way to avoid accidentally deleting items is to turn off the option to empty the deleted items folder on exit and set up AutoArchive to delete older items from the deleted folder every few days.

A PST is a database. Items are records within the database and there is an index that points to each item. When you empty the Deleted Items folder, Outlook doesn't actually delete the items, it just deletes the items' listings from the index. The item is still in the PST, but unrecoverable because Outlook has no idea where it is without the pointer in the index. The space the item takes up is called "whitespace".

When you Compact a PST, the item is finally removed permanently and the whitespace is recovered, often shrinking the PST by many megabytes. Once the PST has 20% "whitespace", Outlook begins compacting the PST. If the Deleted Items folder contained a lot of messages, Outlook may begin compacting the PST immediately and the items will be deleted forever within a few minutes.

To recover the items which are no longer in the index you need to force Outlook to rebuild the index by causing corruption. You can cause corruption by using a Hex editor to delete some characters from the beginning of the PST file. If you delete the wrong ones you'll cause corruption but not in the index and Outlook won't rebuild the index.

If you don't know what a Hex editor is, you probably shouldn't be hex editing anything, but if you want to try, Google for "hex editor" - UltraEdit is probably the best and easiest one to use. Before doing anything to the PST with a Hex Editor, make a copy of the PST, or you may end up losing all of your e-mail.

If the free pst viewer doesn't show it, it doesn't exit. If you think it was deleted but the pst not compacted, a pst repair or deleted email recovery utility might find it. They all have trials - if its not visible in the trial, it no longer exists.

Yes, all versions of Outlook did it once there was more than 20% white space - and the computer was idle. It wasn't an automatic "it's 20%... time to compact" - it waited for idle time and compacted as much as it could - which might only be a few messages at a time, so not a noticeable drop in file size.

I would like to thank the author of this article very much. This method works perfectly, and allowed me to recover an inbox that was completely deleted on the server (thousands of emails since 1998). This worked even after there was a synchronization of imap folders with outlook 2010. In reality, messages deleted on the server are still present (but inaccessible) in the IMAP PST.

I would just like to precise that the edit process (2) is a little faulty. There are only 7 characters to edit, not 13 (position 7 to 13, = address 0006 to 000c). During the repair process with scanpst.exe, I got many errors in the .log file, but anyway all worked nicely.

Outlook may hang at loading profile or won't start. You may notice that if you open Task Manager that other Office processes are unexpectedly listed even though you did not open the application. If you end those processes it may enable Outlook to then open normally.
