Hi All,
Just FUI, at next week have a plan to release HTML Email Archiver for
Outlook! Visit
http://www.mapilab.com/ at October 12! It will be very
interesting application for Microsoft Outlook (sorry for the long post):
Html Email Archiver is a unique program working with all types of
Microsoft Outlook folders and used for a wide range of tasks: archiving
into the platform-independent HTML or CHM formats, publishing Microsoft
Outlook folders on the Internet, moving data from Microsoft Outlook onto
other software and hardware platforms, including mobile devices.
Archives created in the program reproduce the structure of Microsoft
Outlook folders, can contain messages or other elements in any languages
and with any types of attachments, support sorting by several criteria
and can be searched with advanced options.
* HTML archives and compatibility
Everything changes very fast in the computer world. Probably, in some
five years your primary "computer" will be not a regular desktop
computer, but a palmtop or even a smartphone that you will connect to a
large monitor and keyboard when in office and at home. How can you save
your data so that not only in five, but even in fifty years you can
easily access them? There is only one suitable technology - the open and
free HTML standard.
An archive created in the program can be easily taken for a Microsoft
Outlook or Outlook Web Access file at first sight. The program creates
two types of archives: one complies with the HTML 3.2 standard that
appeared in 19__ and is supported by all mobile devices and the other
corresponds to the HTML 4.0 standard of 19__. In the long run, the
number of the standard is not crucial, but an archive of the first type
has a different design of pages and is optimized for a low screen
resolution, such as 172x220, and looks more like the interface of Pocket
Outlook than of its "big brother". Due to this, such archives are
conveniently viewed not only on palmtop computers, but also on
smartphones with small screens. Nevertheless, both archive types support
the structure of Outlook folders, sorting messages by several criteria
and archiving folders and elements of all types.
The HTML format is indispensable if you want to record an archive to a
compact disk or publish it on the Internet. However, it is not always
convenient: an archive with ten thousand messages and a thousand
contacts will contain the same number of HTML files plus attachment and
graphic files from HTML messages. Of course, you can compress it into
one ZIP file and send it via e-mail, for example, but it is not
everywhere that you can use a browser to "explore" a ZIP archive without
unpacking it.
That is why when it is not necessary to create an "eternal" archive, but
only to move data, HTML Email Archiver can create an archive in the CHM
format that is also created in its either usual or mobile version.
* CHM archives and compatibility
CHM is the format of Windows help files that appeared together with
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 and is known as HTML Help. An archive
in this format is a single binary file with well-compressed HTML, index
and contents files in it. And despite the fact that this format is not
open and free, now it is not less popular for publishing e-books than
PDF. Its popularity is due to the fact that third-party developers
released software for working with these files virtually on all
platforms and the Microsoft company released a Java applet making it
possible to view these archives on any device that supports Java.
As to functionality, a CHM archive is absolutely identical to an HTML
archive. E-mail attachments are saved in it and the sorting and
searching features also work.

Create a personal address book (PAB) which will create
a .pst file. Then you can copy the .pst file to another
location.
No. A PAB and a PST are not related. You don't know what you're talking
about.
The way to accomplish what the OP wants is, with Outlook closed, simply to
copy the existing PST to a writable CD, place that CD in the other PC,
copy
the PST to the hard drive, remove the read-only attribute and then, in
Outlook, click FIle>Open>Personal Folders File, browse to the PST, select
it, and click OK. The contents of the PST will not be available.
