When you open Outlook or when you open a personal folders (.pst) file, you may receive the following error message :: error 0x80040116. This issue may occur if the index of the .pst file is damaged.
To resolve this issue, you can use a third party Outlook repair tool. I have used Kernel for Outlook repair tool that works really amazing and very powerful. You can find it from www.msoutlookrepair.com Thanks

Microsoft has clearly stated that this error is due to some corruption in Outlook.pst file and may not be repaired by built-in Inbox repair tool (scanpst.exe). For detail information, you may visit this kb article: support.microsoft.com/kb/32991.
This software provides easy, safe, and fast way to resolve this problem. You may also test the features of the product by downloading the demo version.
The main cause for Outlook error 0x80040116 is the PST corruption after which you are not able to access your important items stored within PST files. So, you must use PST Repair tool to repair the corrupt/damaged Outlook files easily and completely.
