Are you saying that you want to read it without Outlook profile created, and then searching on that message? Basically, you want to read it programattically for a message that meets a certain criteria and then if matched, move the message to a mailbox? Can you give more information on what the overall goal is? Is this for some sort of compliance effort maybe? -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff [mailto:john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 4:44 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] OT: Reading archived PST files http://www.MSExchange.org/ For a client, I archive all e-mail to a daily PST file using Exmerge. Is there an easy way to "read" that PST file looking for messages, say by sender or recipient, and then if messages are found, the PST file can be imported into an Outlook account?
