Does anyone out there know of a program that allows the user to view
(without opening ) MS Outlook 2000's *.PST files?
I regularly copy my *.PST file to CD as a way of keeping old e-mail message,
contact, calendars, etc with the hopes that I could restore them for viewing
if my system suffered serious damage. My understanding though, is that when
I want to view these "backup" *.PST files, they have to be copied back to
the hard drive, then have the "read only" attribute turned off, then tell MS
Outlook to use the *.PST before it can be viewed. I think MS Outlook
requires the *.PST file to be read/write capable before it can even open the
*.PST file. If this is true then the user cannot use MS Outlook to view the
*.PST files burned to CD. Please correct me if I am mistaken on this
matter.
If there is a *.PST viewer out there that can view such files on a CD, or
for some other reason has the "Read Only" attribute set, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.
