3.Rebuild corrupted database: this mode is used when the corruption becomes severe and EDB database gets damaged. It is a smart and efficient option which helps in dealing with inaccessible EDB databases and retrieving the mailboxes. It also generates a file for verification to verify the re-built Exchange database file.
