"Stellar Repair for Exchange" is a very stable and useful tool for Exchange admins who need to be able to recover single Items and mail boxes from a corrupted EDB file. I have worked in the IT for many years and I saw many tools which supposed to help the engineers in their daily work. The tool is quickly installed, it doesn't need much space and it is very easy to handle. It works in a intuitive way and the number of options for saving data makes it seriously worth to work with it. I personally will definitely keep it as a tool with which I will work in the future!

Stellar is an easy-to-use tool, at first it seems like it has few options, but in fact all that we need for EDB recovery and restore is within this tool. The product is very stable, provides a simple and intuitive user experience, and the most important, it fulfills its intended purpose. Besides, you can test the repair with the trial version before purchase the product.

I was impressed with the options to export directly to Exchange Server and Office 365! Worth checking out these tools if you run into a scenario where you need them – sometimes there's a freeware or open source solution, but often they don't work, are old, unreliable or limited in functionality. Stellar Exchange Toolkit seems to do what it claims well, and I look forward to trying more features in the future.

Stellar Converter for EDB extracts mailboxes from either online or offline Exchange database (EDB) files and converts them into PST files. This tool can preview and extract mailbox items such as emails, contacts, calendar, notes, attachments, etc., into PST, MSG, EML, RTF, PDF, or HTML formats. It can also be used as a migration tool as it can export an EDB file directly to a live Exchange Server or Exchange Online.

I tested it out and was quite impressed. Apart from being a great utility to retrieve emails from restored EDB files and from live Exchange servers it is also a migration tool that works like a charm.

"There's several options, but I tried connecting to a live Exchange 2010 server to extract emails: After connecting, again I was presented with an Outlook style of emails. I then realised there's a few use cases for this tool that are handy to me personally; if I need to go into a mailbox to get something out, this is much easier than adding a second mailbox or profile. It seems to do what it claims well."

Administrator can use this to export live data from one Exchange environment to another, similar to migration tools. is pretty simple and powerful, easy to manage, efficient and a bunch of software's which makes Exchange administrators work modest."

Outlook Expert

My career has been working as a Microsoft Outlook Expert and clients call me when their Outlook PST is corrupted, won't open, folders and emails missing. Running the SCANPST often fails them as it's an inbox repair tool that is not updated to keep up with the various Outlook versions. Stellar does have updates to keep up with the newer versions. Stellar's PST file recovery software has been the best I have found to recover all the data. What I love about the product is you can download it for free, see if your data is scanned and then purchase. Their support team is also incredibably helpful.

If you intend to use this product professionally, then I really recommend professionally, one of the most significant advantages of using Stellar Repair for Outlook is its ability to repair data from severely corrupted PST files. The preview feature allows you to view the recovered data before saving it, which is a great way to ensure that the recovered data is accurate and complete.

John Hurst

Outlook Expert

In March, 2015, I started having difficulties with Outlook 2016. Mail was being duplicated (an Outlook error) and I could not retrieve some emails. I have mail going back to 1996 in my Outlook file plus 7 archive files, so Outlook (and all my email) is very important to me. I tried to run SCANPST to correct the errors. SCANPST corrected some but not all errors in the main Outlook file. SCANPST did fix any and all errors in the Archive files indeed that was good news. A look in Experts-Exchange revealed that Stellar Tools was a respected application. I had purchased a license of Stellar Phoenix Outlook PST Repair. Repaired the main file, and then my email file was working again. The main Outlook file remains today (nearly three years later) working well. I participated in a question recently where I (and others) recommended the use of Stellar Tools to repair a broken PST file and the author accepted our answers to use Stellar Tools. Whenever a user has a broken Outlook file and SCANPST does not repair it, I recommend Stellar Tools.

I have been using Stellar OST to PST converter since 2010 as an MSP provider using the Tech License and it has worked wonders for Outlook 2003 to 2016 conversions of OST Files.
