How to repair corrupted PST file?
Microsoft Outlook is a standard email client and is widely used by most of the business users. As Outlook is featured with inbuilt components like contacts, calendar, tasks, journals etc., which are not available in famous email clients, many organizations tend to use it. Journal is one of the main components among them which keep track of all the activities in your Outlook profile. It tells who has opened the file, how long the file was opened and by whom. Journal entries are recorded automatically that are related to contacts for items like messages, meeting requests, meeting responses, files that are recorded with existing contacts in Outlook, etc. But the journal entries that are related to contacts are not recorded for files that are created in other Microsoft Office programs. You can easily configure the journal feature by changing the settings to keep track of your desired items.
By turning on the Journal feature, it slows down the performance of the office application, as it takes long time to open and close MS Outlook which leads to the corruption of PST file. When the PST file is corrupted due to various reasons like improper existing of the Outlook, power failure problems while transferring files, infected by virus etc, use the reliable PST repair tool to repair corrupted PST file without loss of data.
