A corrupted PST file is often attempted to repair using Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe). The tool is included in all the installation options of Microsoft Office Outlook. But if it fails to fix the corruption, you are suggested to look for powerful commercial applications to repair the file. For example, consider a situation when you send an email in Microsoft Outlook. You notice that the mail is not moved to Sent Items folder, as expected, but instead gets stuck in Outbox folder. This might happen with each email that you send. Cause Some typical reasons causing this issue are: 1.You open and close the email message when it is still in Outbox folder. Outlook attempts to deliver the message after establishing a proper connection with mail server. If you open and close before it actually has been sent, you change its status. 2.You are running Outlook in offline mode 3.You have installed an outdated or incompatibile add-in 4.You used an old account to reply a message. It particularly occurs when you have an old email and have changed the email accounts after receiving that email. By default, Outlook will try to send the reply using the same previous non-existing account and not the current account. 5.The Outlook Personal Folder or Personal Address Book file is damaged Solution You can use these solutions to fix the current issue: 1.To correct the changed mail status, you should open the email message and click on its toolbar to Send 2.Clear the Work Offline check box listed in File menu. Use Send/Receive option to send the email message 3.Use Add-In Manager to deactivate the add-in 4.Move the email message from Outbox to Inbox and send a new message to the recipient. 5.Repair the corrupted .pst file using Inbox Repair Tool for MS outlook. Locate the tool with name 'scanpst.exe' using Windows Serach option and browse to the affected .pst file. Start the repair process and restart Outlook. Try to duplicate the above behavior.
