In order to understand the situation and scenario lets consider an example in which an Outlook PST file is stored on a NAS which accesses different computers. A user uses Windows 7 on his client workstation. Suddenly user observed that the PST has corrupted without any apparent reason. When an attempt is made to access the PST file an error message of damage is displayed but the PST stored on the Windows 7 client workstation remains unaffected. This type of behavior is observed when the PST stored in the NAS gets damaged. It is because the PST is not designed to store on LAN/WAN and any attempt of doing so will corrupt the PST file when it is being accessed by several users from the server.

PST contains the local copy of the messages of MS Outlook, so except IMO account it should not be stored as an environment solution. There is a reason behind this and that is PST is a file-access-driven method and on the other hand LAN/WAN is network-access-driven method. So, when the file is stored remotely say on NAS and the application utilizes the read/write command to the OS say Windows 7, it sends the command over the network which results into great overhead issues due to which the file gets corrupted.
