Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Recovery Toolbox for Outlook is Windows software for recovering email, contacts, calendars, attachments, and other mailbox items from damaged Microsoft Outlook PST and OST files. It is aimed at individuals, businesses, and organizations that need to inspect, repair, convert, or export Outlook mailbox data. The vendor also provides a browser-based recovery service for macOS, iOS, Android, and other platforms, giving non-Windows users a separate recovery path.
Pricing is organized around one-time licenses and an online usage-based service. The Personal License costs $39 for personal, noncommercial use. The Business License costs $59 for commercial, enterprise, and governmental use, while the Site License costs $99 for use on several customer computers. The online recovery service costs $10 per GB. A free access option is also available. Buyers should match the license to how the software will be used, and choose the online service when browser-based recovery is more suitable than the Windows application.
The standout capability is the combination of recovery, preview, conversion, and structured export. The software can recover corrupted PST files, recover and convert OST files, read password-protected and encrypted Outlook data files, and preview recovered mailbox content before export. It exports to PST, MSG, EML, VCF, and TXT, can split recovered mailboxes into multiple PST files, and preserves folder structure and mailbox item properties in new PST output. Support for ANSI and Unicode PST formats adds compatibility within Outlook data recovery. It is a strong fit for Outlook-focused recovery at a low entry price. Buyers needing mbox, EDB, or batch recovery should choose a product built around those formats or workflows instead.
