Recover Public Folders from Corrupt EDB Files

Calender Archive Exchange

Exchange EDB files are precious as they contain all the useful information in their mailboxes and public folders. An Exchange Public Folder is an integrated service for Exchange users to share content and information on a common folder. And the folder permissions to users lie under the control of the administrator. A Public Folder is supported to Outlook on the Web for Exchange 2016 and later versions, Outlook versions with configured Exchange Server and Outlook for Mac 2016. Its architecture is based on mailbox infrastructure which includes folder hierarchy and data stored on a separate Exchange Server EDB file (pub1.edb).

When EDB files get corrupt due to virus attack, abrupt shutdown or server breakdown, this information within mailboxes and public folders become inaccessible. Though manual solutions (PowerShell and EAC) can recover Exchange mailboxes data but there is hardly any feasible method for the recovery of Exchange public folders.

In such case, we need a reliable software that provides smooth public folders data recovery. EDB to PST tool helps in recovering public folders from the inaccessible or corrupt EDB file.
