| | As a matter of fact, about 70% of professionals as well as home users today are using MS Outlook as their email client.
Though there are many reasons responsible for this ever increasing popularity of Outlook, the most significant reasons behind this overwhelming response for Outlook are explained as below:
First of all, there is no installation cost of MS Outlook. However, with other email clients, users need to spend on installation. Another factor is that the maintenance cost of MS Outlook is also considerably low. Apart from the zero installation cost and negligible maintenance cost, another crucial factor is that majority of users worldwide are familiar with MS Outlook. Thus the organizations do not have to spend a lot in training the employees. All these factors in totality are responsible for the ever growing and increasing demand of MS Outlook as an email client.
However, the most attractive feature of MS Outlook that makes it so popular is its ability to allow its users to work in the offline mode. The credit of enabling its users to work in the offline mode goes to the OST file.
Let’s consider a real life scenario wherein while you are using MS Outlook to work in the offline mode, you receive the following error message:
"Outlook.ost is not an Outlook file"
The aforementioned error message symbolizes that the OST file is damaged and corrupt.
In order to resolve the above-mentioned error message, you can use the Microsoft’s inbuilt utility known as the Scanost.exe. This utility quickly scans the damaged and corrupt OST file and tries to resolve all the integrity issues.
To use the Scanost.exe utility, perform the following steps:
1.Click Start -> Search. The "Search" window appears.
2.In the Search box, type “scanost.exe”.
3.Select “All files and folders”.
4.Select the drive where MS Outlook is installed.
5.Start the search process. Scanost.exe appears in the right pane of the "Search" window.
6.Execute the scanost.exe tool.
7.Browse the corrupt OST file and start the scanning process.
However, the Scanost.exe utility is unable to repair the highly damaged or severely corrupt OST file.
In this scenario, you must use a professional convert OST to PST tool to repair the corrupt OST file.
