OlFix Repair tool for Microsoft Outlook

OlFix is a tool that tries to repair several problems that users can encounter using Microsoft Outlook. The program is portable and does not require an installation, it should work with all versions of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Its main features are that it can repair Outlook profiles, repair contact links, extend reminder folders, delete search folders, change message classes, find duplicates, set file extensions, start several Outlook repair command line options, repair the inbox and automatically find and delete extend.dat.

That’s a lot if you ask me and some may require further explanation. The most important feature of OlFix is in my opinion the one to fix damaged Outlook profiles. This happens most of the time when Outlook is not able to delete registry keys correctly which can lead to duplicate entries or a slow startup of Outlook.

The interface looks a bit confusing at first glance, there are lots of buttons and whenever you hover over one a short introduction appears on the right side of the interface. Options are divided into two categories, Repair Outlook and Tools.

Repair Outlook fixes problems that you encounter in Outlook, like the aforementioned damaged profiles or contact links that are no longer working while the Tools section makes it easier to work with Outlook, it aids in finding duplicates for instance.
