    Are any PST viewers reliable other than Outlook?


    I have an export of one of my Outlook.com (webmail) mailboxes for offline reference purposes, which comes in the form of a PST file, however the next issue is how to actually refer to said archive. I don't have the Outlook program (just a webmail user), but there are some websites advertising 'free PST viewers'. With my cynicism, the first way I tend to read 'free PST viewer' is 'free way to upload your entire mailbox to our servers so we can scam you'. So I'm wondering if there is any reliable PST viewer other than Outlook, or other way to view the mails contained within that is reliable?

    :)

    Outlook PST File Problem

    That is exactly what I was going to suggest. Export everything to another PST file, delete the old(or rather move it out of the default folder) and replace it with the new PST file that you exported.

    Outlook PST File Problem

    Thanks again everyone. I just did an export on the troubled PST file to create a new PST file from it and the file size went from 3.9GB down to 850MB. Then I installed the new PST file into Outlook that I just created and removed the old PST file from Outlook and all seems to be working fine so far. I think I am good now, but I will give it some time just to make sure there are no problems before I delete the old file. Thanks again.

    Outlook PST File Problem

    Outlook .PST files are maxed at 2GB's anything over that and they become corrupted. You can try the scanpst.exe from above. Also this might help you.
