How to fix PST files not adding into CaseGuard

Scenario

When I add my PST files to CaseGuard the PST import appears blank with no emails!

Follow these steps to add PST files to your CaseGuard!

The first step is to test to make sure the file has content or is not corrupt.

  • Open Outlook and Select “File” > “Open & Export” > “Open Outlook Data File.”

  • Select the PST file, and then select “Open.”
  • Once you open the PST file, the file will appear in your folder pane with its file name.

Check and ensure all of the content of the PST file is there. If it is, close Outlook and use your task manager to ensure it is fully closed. Once Outlook closes, open up CaseGuard and add the PST file to ensure it is working correctly. The issue with the empty PST Import window is caused by the PST file being open in a different application when trying to add it to CasGuard.

  • To add your PST file to CaseGuard first open or create a new project.
