Hi,

I think, it is right place to discuss my issue with tech experts.

I lost access Outlook emails from Friday. I also ran ScanPST.exe 3 times but didn’t get any benefits.
Then, I searched on google and found a array utilities, mentioned below:

Stellar Phoenix Outlook PST Repair ([URL unfurl="true"]http://www.stellarinfo.com/outlook-pst-file-recovery.php[/url])
DataNumen Outlook Repair ([URL unfurl="true"]https://www.datanumen.com/outlook-repair/[/url])
DiskInternals Outlook Recovery ([URL unfurl="true"]http://www.diskinternals.com/outlook-recovery/[/url])

I found that trail version of above tool are showing expected result in preview but I can’t afford a paid software. So suggest some free alternative.
 
A free alternative is to reload your PST file from your most recent backup.

If corrupt .pst file is your issue, then you can try SCANPST.EXE of MS Outlook. It will repair your corrupt .pst file as well as it works with corrupt .ost/.pst files. But sometimes it may fail to fix corruption, in such situation you can try some third-party PST recovery software. There are many software companies, which provide such recovery applications for corrupt .pst files.
 
The OP had already pointed out that scanpst did not help.
