These are commonly used for email backups, archiving, and mailbox migration. However, many users receive PST files without having Outlook installed on their system. Since PST files are not natively supported by most operating systems, opening them without Outlook can be difficult. Fortunately, there are several methods to view PST without Microsoft Outlook.
