I ran scanpst on Outlook.pst and fixed the PST after three times of
scanning and fixing session.



I then started Outlook with /safe switch (I noticed the navigation pane
was off, the navigation buttons returned to default settings, etc), and
let Outlook run for a while. Then I shut down Outlook and ran scanpst on
Outlook.pst, same thing happened, scanpst detected errors in the PST and
offered to fix the errors. Ran scanpst three times (scanning and fixing)
and scanpst detected no error on the fourth scanning.



I do have Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 scanning incoming/outgoing
emails and so far I haven't seen any visible problem with Outlook. Could
it be the anti-virus engine? Isn't running Outlook in Safe Mode
supposedly turn off all the add-ins and such?



I have the following add-ins active in Outlook:

.. COM Addin for Microsoft Office Outlook Connector

.. Kaspersky Outlook Anti-Virus Addin

.. MAPILab NNTP Add-in

.. Office Genuine Advantage Add-in

Do you have any third party tool accessing the pst, eg a Desktop
Search

Tool?



And if you start Outlook using the safe switch, then after shutting

down,

then running scanpst does it then find errors?

I have used scanpst from time to time to repair my Outlook.pst. I

usually

run it a few times on Outlook.pst until it reports that it finds no

error.

Then I start up Outlook that reads Outlook.pst and mounts it as my

Personal

Folder. Sometime later, I shut down Outlook and out of curiosity, I
run

scanpst again on Outlook.pst. This time scanpst again reports that it

finds

problems and offers to fix it, I run it a few times on the PST until
no

error is found. I start up Outlook again and the cycle repeats. So,

Outlook

2007 "corrupts" Outlook.pst every time it is accessing the PST?



Until now, Outlook 2007 has not yet failed to open Outlook.pst for me

and I

do back up Outlook.pst regularly but this worries me a little.
