Repairing a Personal Folders file (.pst)

You may need to use the Inbox Repair Tool if you open your Outlook .pst file and receive this message:

Unable to expand the folder. The set of folders could not be opened. Errors could have been detected in the file drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool.

Note :- The path to the file specified in the message may vary depending upon the operating system you are using on your computer.

I saw some solutions that worked for people and others that didn’t. While I don’t know the cause of the problem, I found 3 suggestions that might solve the problem.

Suggestion 1: Reinstall Microsoft Outlook.

If the developer offers a solution on an error message, that’s where I start. Let’s face it, they have the inside advantage. In my case, I recently installed some Windows patch files and thought they may have contributed to the problem.
Suggestion 2: Create a New Outlook Profile

From what I read, this procedure fixed the problem for many folks. This was the first thing the Microsoft technician suggested.

Suggestion 3: Close Outlook and Rename 4 .DAT files

The third time was a charm as the saying goes. This tech rep offered a different solution from his peers. In my case, this solution worked.

There were four .dat files that were renamed so the originals were still around if needed.

• outcmd.dat
• frmcache.dat
• views.dat
• extend.dat

When Outlook restarted, it created new versions of those files. The file locations vary based on systems, but Slipstick has a very useful Outlook file location.
