I have user that lost a folder in her pst. It's gone, does anyone have or know of a recovery tool that will bring back lost folders or recover lost data.

i've already tried the scanpst.exe
 
I assume thios is on a network & using MS Exchange;

Look to MS exchange & passible backups...hoping that it was set to store on the server and not just locally.

Hope this helps

If it's a .pst file, it's not (likely) Exchange. Exchange doesn't store data in .pst files.

yeah, it's in a pst not stored on the network
 
How did it get lost? If it's been deleted from 'deleted items', it probably won't be coming back.
 
yeah, she said it popped up some error, which she has no proof of, and the the folder disappeared, I tried some 3rd party repair tools but it doesn't seem to be working.
 
I think that an error message pops up if something is dragged & dropped into Outlook Today. For the sake of being thorough, have a look in there by following thread605-751315.
 
I haven't actually looked, but I would expect it to still be possible.
