Recover Microsoft Outlook email contacts

Generally, Microsoft Outlook will store a user’s personal data including messages, contacts, calendar items, and tasks in a specified storage folder by default. The data usually are known as a .PST file saved on hard disk drive, which can be used to retrieve or move Outlook data in case of unexpected data loss, hardware failure, or transferring data from one computer to another. At the same time, the Outlook Address Book is stored in the .PST file and saved in a separate file on hard disk with a .PAB file extension. To recover Microsoft Outlook email contacts, we need a professional email recovery program – MiniTool Power Data Recovery.

The application utility is easy-to-operate so as to help both beginners and senior users. After the application is installed correctly (Do not directly install the program on the partition where the lost .PST file is), we will begin the specific operation.
