EdbMails EDB Recovery vs PST Walker

EdbMails EDB Recovery is Windows software for recovering corrupted, damaged, or dismounted offline Exchange EDB files. It can restore deleted mailboxes and items such as email, contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes, then export data to PST, MHT, HTML, or EML. Filters cover date, subject, and sender address. The product lists support for Exchange Server 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019, and can migrate mailbox data directly to live Exchange Server or Office 365 without an Outlook dependency. The vendor says exports retain folder hierarchy, formatting, and Unicode characters. For migration, it lists OAuth 2.0 and TLS, says credentials and migration data are not stored on its servers, and says locally stored incremental-migration metadata is encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption. The trial is limited to 30 items per folder for export, migration, and backup. The Personal Edition is listed at $99, paid once with a lifetime license; Corporate Premium is $249, paid once and Technical Edition is $359, paid once.

PST Walker is a Windows program for opening Outlook PST, OST, MSG, and EML files without Outlook, with tools for recovering deleted items and folders. It searches Outlook items by keyword, Boolean queries, filters, and recent searches. Users can export or convert items to PST, MBOX, MSG, EML, and CSV formats. Recovery includes deleted or purged emails, contacts, and calendar entries, as well as Outlook Rules and Alerts. The maker says conversion processes files locally without uploading file data to its or third-party servers. A free demo limits export to 15 emails per folder; the full version allows unlimited export. The listed Lite License costs $32.95 a year, Pro costs $64.95, paid once, Business $99.95, paid once, Technician $169.95, paid once, Standard $249.95, paid once, and Floating $449.75, paid once. Enterprise pricing is custom. Licenses are one-time purchases without automatic recurring charges, though maintenance expiration ends updates and support for perpetual licenses. Supported systems include Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7, and Windows Server 2012–2025, with.NET Framework 4.7.2 or later required.
