Microsoft Outlook saves all its information, such as, e-mails, calendar/journal entries, appointments, tasks, notes, and more in a .pst file. The data saved in this file can be exported, imported, deleted, compacted, backed up as per the requirements of an Outlook user. While deletion of data from a PST file can be performed manually, there are various situations when the data automatically deletes from the PST file. This generally happens when the file gets corrupted due to a virus attack. In most of these situations, the deleted data does not move to 'Deleted Items' folder, making it permanently inaccessible for the Outlook user. To access deleted data in such situations, the user needs to restore data from an updated backup. However, in the absence of an up-to-date backup or backup falling short of restoring the data, the user needs to opt for an advanced third-party Deleted Email Recovery application.

To illustrate the above scenario, consider a practical situation wherein you log into your MS Outlook account and view the following:

1)All your e-mails after ...
... a particular date (for eg. 15th December 2009) have been deleted.
2)All your Contacts are also missing.

In addition, you do not find either of the above in the 'Deleted Items' folder of your MS Outlook. These emails and contacts get deleted without any warning message.
