You can easily view a PST file using Microsoft Outlook or a dedicated PST Viewer. If Outlook is installed, open it and go to File> Open & Export > Open Outlook Data File, then select the PST file. The File will appear in Outlook’s folder pane, allowing you to read emails, view attachments, contacts, and calendars without modifying the data.

From my experience, this method works well for regular PST files, but it becomes inconvenient if Outlook is not installed, the PST file is large, or it is inaccessible. In such cases, a professional PST Viewer is a better option. BLR Tools' tools allow you to open and preview PST file contents without Outlook, while maintaining the original folder structure and data integrity.

Using a PST Viewer is especially helpful for quick access, data verification, and safely and efficiently viewing archived PST files.
