PST Corruption

[Guest]

Seeing lots of strange corruption in my Outlook 2007 PST...a couple of
folders just disappeared one startup, and when I tried to run SCANPST it
crashed numerous times. Finally, it completed, and when it was done, all my
favorite folders were gone, the original missing folders and all their
messages were gone as well.

Looks like I'm screwed. I know it's beta, but my mail is toast...lost about
a months messages from 2 accounts. Thanks, MS. Great progress here.

Um - why did you install beta software on a machine you cared about? That's
a huge no-no.

Even beyond that, you need to be making regular backups of your data (all of
it).

Just restore from backup.
No one would install a beta without backing up their data, and we have
already clearly documented that scanpst.exe does not work in beta 2.
