How do I view .pst files from a disconnected laptop?

[M Skabialka]

Due to size limitations I have had to move a lot of my emails to .pst files
in Outlook 2007 on an Exchange server. I am going to be working in two
places, one with a disconnected laptop, that will use an aircard to check
Outlook occasionally through webmail, but I also want to be able to view the
emails in my .pst files from the laptop as needed. If I copy these .pst
files to the laptop, what else do I have to do to view them? Do I have to
install Outlook? If so, how does that work when it is disconnected? I
don't need to copy the newer emails to the laptop if I can see them in
Webmail, and I will use the other PC when at that office and want it to look
as it does now, with Outlook and the same .pst files.
Thanks,
Mich

You need outlook installed to view messages in a pst file.
