Convert .pst to .txt

[jpw2ch]

Is there any way to convert Outlook .pst files to plain text files without using Outlook?

jpw2ch--Never used any of them, but here are some ideas

I would like to view an old backed up .pst file. Can I just rename my current Outlook .pst file and copy my old backed up copy to the Outlook folder to temporarily view my old file?

One thing though. There are two .pst files in the Outlook folder. One is very large and the other is small. Do I have to rename both in order to view my older copy?

File > Open > Outlook Data File. Select the .pst you want to open, and it should appear as a personal folder beneath your current folders. When you're finished, right click that personal folder and hit close(or disconnect; I cant remember).

Thanks Tek, that's exactly what I'm looking to do.
