Recovery Toolbox for Outlook
Recovery Toolbox for Outlook restores mailbox items from damaged PST and OST files, including email, contacts, calendars and attachments. It supports ANSI PST files from Outlook 97 through XP and Unicode PST files from Outlook 2007 onward, including Outlook 2016, 2019, 2021, 2024 and Microsoft 365. Converter mode can export OST data to PST or extract it into MSG, EML, VCF or TXT files. The software can read password-protected and encrypted files, even when encrypted and unencrypted data are mixed. Recovered mailboxes can be divided into user-defined PST files to address the legacy 2 GB ANSI limit. The demo allows users to preview recovered items and save up to five objects per folder. The full Windows version recovers files offline; a browser service is available on Windows, iOS, macOS and Android. Uploaded files are removed from that service after 30 days. It has no PST/OST size limit, charges by the original file's gigabytes, and requires payment before the recovered PST can be downloaded. Personal License costs $39 as a one-time purchase.
