Reading PST folder
(OP)
People,
I use Outlook to read and write emails and have stored old emails in PST folders.Subsequently I have copied PST folder on to CD for storage.Now I am unable to read emails from PST folders on this CD even though I have configured Outlook to look for this PST folder. Any suggestions??

I THINK from version 2000 on you can open up Outlook based files in Access. You should be able to see all the email messages (headers), but I don't know if you'll be able to read the content.

Move a copy off the CD to your hardrive and be sure to uncheck the read-only tick box in the properties menu of the .pst file.

Until the CD access/burning software advances to the point that a CDRW is treated more like a harddrive (read,burn,read...) you are limited with Outlook .pst file access.
As Outlook is extracting the data you want, it is also writes some sort of information back to the .pst file at the same time.
