Has anyone encountered a tool that will parse PST files?
I have looked at libpst's project, but they don't seem to have much support > Outlook 2000.
I'm particularly looking for a tool that will deal with Outlook 2003 (and potentially 2007).
In order to recover the deleted artefacts within a .pst file, the following is an industry standard.
Create a working image of the PST
Open the working copy in a hex editor and overwrite bytes 8 to 13 inc with 'FF'.
Launch - C\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\SCANPST.EXE and load the corrupted PST into it.
SCANPST will rebuild the PST including all deleted artefacts.
Create a blank profile in Outlook and import the rebuilt PST.
All emails and artefacts are now accessible.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply.
I don't actually have a problem with recovering artifacts from the file. I was hoping to find a project similar to the libpst project that involved reversing the pst file format for > Office 2K.
I am going to write a tool for the pst file, and was hoping someone else had already publicized work on reversing the file formats.
Any other ideas?
