To Recover Emails from Corrupt PST file, you can try a manual approach using the built-in ScanPST.exe (Inbox Repair Tool) provided by Microsoft. First, locate ScanPST.exe in your Outlook installation directory. Browse for the corrupt PST file, and click Start to begin scanning. Once the scan is complete, click Repair to fix detected issues. After repairing, restart Outlook and check if your emails are restored.

However, this manual method has several challenges. It may not work for severely corrupted files, and there's a risk of data loss if the file is heavily damaged. The process is also time-consuming, and it does not guarantee complete email recovery, especially for large or encrypted PST files.

For a more efficient solution, Cigati Outlook PST Repair Tool is an advanced tool that can easily recover emails, contacts, calendars, and other Outlook data from corrupt PST files. It supports all levels of corruption and ensures data integrity while restoring lost emails. Additionally, it allows users to save recovered data in multiple formats like PST, EML, or MSG, making it a more reliable and user-friendly option than manual repair. This tool streamlines the process, making email recovery quick and hassle-free.
