Q: Our CIO has a huge pst file where he keeps archived e-mail the past several years, today at the entrance of which he noted was completely empty (the folders were there, but the messages were not). It seems like it would be if someone go in and delete all messages. At first I was thinking corrupt PST file, however after booting scanpst.exe I was unable to make any mistakes with the PST (ie the data store doesnt seem to have found corrupt). Of course last backup of this file is more than one month old (:|).
My question, since the space is still taken by the data store until you get a compact Does anyone know of a process that I could recover anything using this PST file?

Re:You're welcome. Glad it worked, and tell your CIO what you just figured out how to do, would have cost him $2,000 at an outside company.

Re:While I first started reading this I was afraid that it would be a "dead-end" however just like the last one suggested I opened it in a hex editor and blocked out those lines, ran it through a recovery program and voila! All of his e-mail is back, score +1 for the good guys!
Thanks for your help Kranky!

Re:That application appears to be geared tward recoverying corrupted outlook files however I dont believe the PST we have to be corrupted.
I wouldnt be surprised that he deleted them "somehow" and I'm more looking for a way to recover deleted items within the PST datastore or if this is even possible. I wouldnt be surprised if this was not possible but I thought I would see if anyone knows otherwise.
