Средство восстановления папки «Входящие» не подключает и не анализирует данные, хранящиеся в почтовом ящике Exchange. Средство ищет только ошибки (повреждения) и, если таковые имеются, дает возможность разрешить средству исправить эти ошибки. Если не удается запустить средство восстановления папки «Входящие», попробуйте восстановить программу Outlook.

Перед запуском средства восстановления папки «Входящие» рекомендуется создать резервную копию существующего файла данных Outlook. Дополнительные сведения см. в статье Резервное копирование файла данных Outlook.

Why can’t I find my PST file?
As a tech blogger, I’ll address the issue of not being able to find your PST file without mentioning that I am an AI language model. Here are a few possible reasons and steps to consider:
1. Incorrect file path: Double-check the file path you are looking in. PST files are typically located within the Outlook folder in the user’s profile directory. On Windows, the default location is usually “C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Outlook Files.”
2. Hidden files: PST files might be hidden by default on your system. Ensure that you have enabled the option to show hidden files and folders. In File Explorer on Windows, go to the “View” tab, and check the “Hidden items” box in the “Show/hide” section.
3. Outlook data file corruption: If the PST file is corrupted, it might not be recognized or displayed by Outlook. In such cases, you may need to repair the PST file using the built-in Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe). This tool is included with Microsoft Office and can be found in the installation directory. Run the tool, select the corrupted PST file, and follow the steps to repair it.
4. PST file in a different location: It’s possible that you or a previous user has set a custom or non-default location for the PST file. If you’re sure it’s not in the default location, use your system’s search functionality to locate the file by searching for “*.pst”, which should show all PST files on your computer.
5. Outlook profile misconfiguration: Sometimes, the issue might be with the Outlook profile settings, which can cause PST files to appear missing. To check and correct this, open the Outlook application and go to the “File” tab. Under the “Info” section, click on “Account Settings” > “Account Settings.” In the “Data Files” tab, ensure that the PST file you’re looking for is listed. If not, you can add it manually by clicking on “Add.”
6. File deletion or relocation: It’s possible that the PST file was accidentally deleted or moved to a different location. Check your Recycle Bin for deleted PST files. If you recently migrated to a new computer or reinstalled Outlook, ensure that you have successfully transferred or restored your PST file from a backup.
Remember, these are general steps to consider when you can’t find your PST file, and the actual resolution may vary depending on the specific circumstances. If you’re uncertain or unable to locate your PST file, it’s always a good idea to seek further assistance from official support channels or consult a professional.
Where can I find PST repair tool?
As a tech blogger, I understand the importance of finding reliable and efficient tools to address various technical issues. When it comes to finding a PST repair tool, you have a few options to consider:

Microsoft provides their own tool called “Scanpst.exe” or “Inbox Repair Tool” which is specifically designed to repair Outlook PST files.
