class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OST files are replicas of users&#8217; mailbox contents that are stored on the Exchange server. Because of this, Outlook continues to work even when Exchange server is in cache mode. OST files can also work in offline mode even when the user prefers to work offline for some reason. That&#8217;s because locally available mailbox copy makes the data accessible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is the automatic synchronization of the OST file with the Exchange Server mailbox once the connection is back. It seems so comfortable, but in reality, it is not. Like any other applications and files, corruption occurs with OST files. Now, let&#8217;s check out the reasons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_Reason_behind_OST_file_corruption\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the Reason behind OST file corruption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If OST is interrupted during the synchronization process due to poor Internet connectivity, there is a possibility that OST files may be corrupted. Once the OST files are disrupted, the performance of Outlook is also affected.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from these reasons, there are many other reasons behind OST file corruption, and these are categorized into hardware and software reasons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hardware_Related_Issues\"><\/span>Hardware Related Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These issues are caused by problems such as improper configuration, failure, or malfunction in the external components of a computer.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Interruption due to Network Connectors<\/li><li>Affected Storage Device<\/li><li>Bad Sectors on the Hard Drive<\/li><li>Sudden Power Failure<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Software_Reasons\"><\/span>Software Reasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there are problems due to logical inconsistencies, they all fall under software related issues. These errors occur due to bug transmission, virus infection, application failure and downloading applications from some untrusted sources. Some of these errors are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Insufficiency in Outlook Program<\/li><li>Abnormal Termination of Outlook<\/li><li>Incompatible Outlook Add-in<\/li><li>Specified Storage Limit<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Six_Most_Common_Solutions_to_Fix_OST_file_Problems\"><\/span>Six Most Common Solutions to Fix OST file Problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Start_Outlook_in_Safe_Mode\"><\/span>Method #1: Start Outlook in Safe Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary reason for starting Outlook in safe mode is to disable add-ins that can cause errors during the boot process. This enables it to work safely without any corrupted add-ins or files. You can use the &#8220;outlook.exe \/ safe&#8221; command to open MS Outlook in safe mode.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Update_the_Folder\"><\/span>Method #2:\u00a0 Update the Folder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method allows changing folder properties to fix inaccessible OST file issues. This procedure applies to Outlook 2010.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, right-click on the folder and click on Properties.<\/li><li>A dialogue box will appear. Click on the option &#8216;Clear Offline Items&#8217; and hit the OK button.<\/li><li>Next, on the Outlook 2010 ribbon, click on the option Send\/Receive.<\/li><li>Finally, click on the Update Folder to save the changes.<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Disable_Firewall_settings\"><\/span>Method #3: Disable Firewall settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can disable the antivirus programs and other firewall settings. These programs scan and detect every outgoing and incoming email. Due to this, sometimes, these programs block the normal functioning of MS Outlook. Therefore, it is recommended to disable the firewall settings and restart the MS Outlook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_4_By_Compacting_the_OST_file\"><\/span>Method #4: By Compacting the OST file<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large size OST file can cause various troubles and errors like dullness in Outlook performance, OST file corruption etc. Even after the deletion of a data or any item, it still exists in the deleted folder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To delete items in your &#8220;Deleted Items folder&#8221;, you need to remove all items individually, which will take a lot of time. Therefore, one option is to compact the OST file. By compressing OST files, the additional space acquired by these files reduces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_5_Use_scanostexe_Tool\"><\/span>Method #5: Use scanost.exe Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft gives users two inbuilt tools, i.e. ScanPST.exe or Inbox Repair Tool and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arysontechnologies.com\/updates\/scanost-exe-to-repair-outlook-ost-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ScanOST.exe<\/a> or OST Integrity Checker to fix some minor flaws in Exchange OST files. The Scanost.exe tool scans all mailbox items included in OST files and is present on the Exchange server. This tool assures users to fix minor OST file corruption issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"339\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arysontechnologies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ost-file-corruption.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/ziQUipfzSfhpUbnHMvw6bAA5Wt5nX2hxVXVjLe-ghWZ6x_QFGWl1zlUzdH075nPve0YSz8Nk7pcf83oK97i7mSDyfUFWkFJExhHfAUhj6vOz4opQ-SUfPk7nOyANHsotTLdkAWzv\" class=\"wp-image-1879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arysontechnologies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ost-file-corruption.png 339w, https:\/\/www.arysontechnologies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ost-file-corruption-284x300.png 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the OST Integrity Checker only exists in Outlook 2007 and earlier versions of Outlook and has been discontinued from Outlook 2010 and later versions.
