Outlook 2003 PST files

Xena uses an external program called 'readpst' (from the libpst project) to normalise PST files from Outlook. PST files are exported from Outlook to archive users' mail, etc, but it is a binary Microsoft format.

Unfortunately, readpst does not support PST files from Outlook 2003 or later. Or so we thought. Just for the fun of it, I tested the latest version 0.6.38 on an Outlook 2003 PST file and it worked!

We are now going to perform some more complete tests, but initial results look promising :-)

To my mind this situation has only two decisions. First may apply for an specialist advice, second the special software. More economical and easy way is the second. For example the next program would assist in this proposition - download recovery pst.
