How to view outlook archive (pst) without using outlook

[jonswaino]

Is there any way to archive all your built up messages in outlook and
then view them using some other viewer. I would like to have all my
messages accessible without using outlook.

Not as far as I know - the PST is a closed format. Why don't you want to
use Outlook?

You could use Aid4Mail to archive your Outlook messages in a format that
allows viewing in Internet Explorer and any other browser that supports MHT
files. Aid4Mail exports your mail in such a way that you can easily copy
your files to a CD-ROM. Then when you insert your CD-ROM in a Windows
computer, IE automatically opens up and displays your mail. You'll find more
information about Aid4Mail and a download link on the following Web site:
