Recovering Outlook email storage with Zmeil

We have developed Zmeil to recover email messages from the Outlook databases, should it break down for some various reasons. Zmeil doesn’t try to repair PST file "in place", creating a copy instead. This approach eliminates the risk of further damage to the database. This document provides all the guidance necessary to recover messages from MS Outlook PST file.

Preparations

  1. Download Zmeil, then install it just like you do with a regular software. The evaluation version of Zmeil allows you to recover at most nine email messages to see what you can expect once you purchase a full version (get Zmeil for $39.95).

  2. Zmeil does not modify the files where the original emails are stored. However, you'd rather backup the original information anyway. Where does Outlook store all the emails?

Running Zmeil

  1. Start Zmeil
    • Click "Next>>"
  2. Specify Outlook message database file (.PTS) to recover
    • Mark the Outlook's message base file(s) you want to recover.
    • Set "Source Format" to "Outlook (.pst)".
    • Click "Next>>"
  3. Select the output type. Consider
    • "Export to Outlook" is slower than the other output modes.
    • Do not use "Export to Outlook" if you suspect your Outlook installation is out of order. If in doubt, use "Save .EML files" instead, then import the resulting emails into Outlook Express. You can then transfer these messages back to Outlook later, when you are done with troubleshooting, and the Outlook installation works properly.
    • Click "Next >>" button.
  4. Recovery run
    • This stage is fully automatic - no action required on your part. Once the process is completed, Zmeil will switch to the next screen automatically.
  5. Select messages to recover
    • Mark messages to recover by clicking their corresponding checkboxes (use context menu, "Select everything").
    • Click "Next>>"
  6. Click "Exit" to close Zmeil.

Locating the recovered messages in MS Outlook

If you used "Export to Outlook", the recovered emails are placed in a new folder named "Recovered messages" under "Personal folders".

What I know about ZAR is in my case, it worked. It's interface is clean, uncluttered, and looks pretty neat. Maybe Im just a bit fat computer programmer geek missing the days of the DOS Defrag Utility (you know what I mean huh?). Ok, its €50, but in my case, it's €50 well spent, as Im sure I'll find other things to torture. Nah, if something works, i`m happy to pay for it - I use TheBat! for email rather than a fooked up M$ freebie with more security holes than a lacy blanket.
