Hi, christosperis

I already faced this issue and I got panicked at that time. I tried the inbox repair tool that comes with MS outlook but got no luck. So, I came to know about third party PST Repair Tool that can repair any corruption error in PST file. It's good that you backup your PST file before formatting. You can also try the inbox repair tool as some people say this tool works on minor corruption.
If your files still not recovered then I would suggest you use DataRecovo PST Recovery Tool that works super fast on corrupted PST file and somehow you can't able to recover your file then you can also take help from their support. This software also ensures a full refund policy if this tool doesn't help you. So, it's a safe and one-time investment as it comes with a lifetime warranty.

It also comes with a completely free (demo version) that you can try to check as even this free version can able to recover your 25 emails per folder.

Hi,
You can edit read / write permissions of PST file by right clicking on .pst file and then select Properties then click on Security tab and then you will see edit button. by clicking on Edit button you can edit permissions of .pst file. Allow full control to your user account here. But you can do this by logging in as an Administrator of Computer.

If this solution doesn't work then you have to go for another trusted third party tools. You can try SysTools Outlook Recovery or PCVITA Outlook Recovery or RecoveryTools MS Outlook recovery.
