I'm getting Outlook.pst cannot be accessed - 0X80040116 while opening email. Please suggest how do I fix it?

If you're getting Outlook.pst cannot be accessed -0X, it means your PST file gets corrupted and you cannot access it. However, such error occurs due to virus or malware attack, sudden system shutdown, sudden termination of MS Outlook, over-sized PST files, etc. Thus, in order to fix it, you can run Inbox Repair tool which is also known as ScanPST.exe. The free Microsoft built-in utility scans and repair Outlook PST file only when the corruption level is minor.
