I am not able to open/expand folders because there is an error in the Outlook
pst file. The error message is instructing me to use the Inbox Repair Tool,
but there are no clear directions describing how this repair utility is
applied. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Depending on version, you will find it under either tools or help, look for
detect and repair.

1.Browse the location of Scanpst.exe
2.Double click it to run it
3.Browse the path of damaged PST file
4.Then Scan
The tool will repair the PST file but in case pst file is severely damaged then inbox repair tool not responding. In such case, you can use third party Outlook PST repair.

Spam. The free Tool that comes with Outlook is all that's needed. This
tool of yours is totally unneeded and only a fool would pay money for it
when the built-in facility already exists in Outlook.
