You may want to scan and repair your .ost if you:
• Encounter a large numbers of conflict items.
• Cannot open particular Outlook items when offline.
• Receive unexpected synchronization error messages (as shown in the synchronization log in the Deleted Items folder).
• Receive the 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.ost. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool.
Note The file path specified in the message may vary depending upon the operating system you are using on your computer.
In addition, you might be able to open folders in the .ost but get synchronization error messages that do not go away. This happens when a single e-mail message is damaged and the synchronization process cannot correct it. You can use the OST Integrity Tool to fix damaged messages or to move them so you can synchronize successfully.
Important: You may need to run scanpst.exe (see the first procedure above) first if the OST Integrity Tool cannot open the .ost file.
To scan and repair the .ost file
1. Close Outlook.Click to continue reading "Repairing an Offline Folder file (.ost)"
