   Microsoft Outlook uses (PST file) personal folder to store Outlook emails, contacts, address book, notes and calendars etc. The PST file is loaded each time when you start MS Outlook. Even if you delete any email or you lost any contacts, they still are there in the PST file. Some time you get an error message while you open your outlook, as mention below.
   • Cannot find Outlook.pst file
   • Error has been detected in the .pst file
   • .pst is not a personal file folder
   • File patch could not be accessed.
   • .pst can not be accessed – 0×80040600 or Unknown errors.
   • An unknown error has occurred 0×80040118.

   There can be many reasons for the above error messages, like Outlook PST file is affected by Virus attack, Corruption in .pst file header due to improper outlook shutdowns etc.

   If you face any issue with your Outlook PST file, you can use Outlook Recovery Software.
