How did we go with this issue?

It sounds like you’re experiencing issues with your Outlook data file. Since you’ve already run the scanpst tool and it encountered errors during the scan, it’s possible that the file is corrupted beyond repair using the built-in tool. You might want to try using third-party PST repair tools that are specifically designed to handle more severe file corruption issues. These tools can sometimes recover more data from damaged PST files. Additionally, make sure to back up your Outlook data regularly to avoid data loss in case of file corruption.
