SysTools PST Repair

What SysTools PST Repair is

SysTools PST Repair is a Windows utility for repairing corrupted or inaccessible Outlook PST files and recovering emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and other data. It also handles Outlook BAK files. Users can search for, add, and repair multiple PST files in one operation, choose Quick Scan for minor corruption or Advanced Scan for severe corruption, and preview results before saving. Repaired data can be exported to PST, PDF, MSG, EML, HTML, or Office 365. Direct Office 365 export is supported; exporting to an admin account requires impersonation.

The free demo previews all data and exports up to 25 items per folder in supported formats. The tool can remove S/MIME and OpenPGP encryption if the user has the relevant certificates or private keys and passwords. It supports Windows 7 through 11 and listed Windows Server editions, along with Outlook versions 2000 through 2021. The vendor says processing occurs on the user's system and Office 365 account credentials are not stored. Licenses are one-time purchases: Personal costs $49, paid once for non-commercial use on one computer, Business costs $199, paid once for up to 100 computers at one location within one country, and Enterprise costs $499, paid once for up to 500 computers across multiple offices and locations. Purchases include 24/7 free technical support and one year of free product updates.
