  2. Many of people who I know say me that I don't know how to use MS Outlook. But couple weeks ago was an accident. My friend lost some important outlook emails, I advised him a tool, which solved out his trouble within the scope of a minute. Moreover he changed his mind about my knowledges, probably it has more capabilities and will aid in this problem - oversize pst repair.
