    Yes, you can view a PST file without Outlook by using MSOutlookHelp PST Viewer tool. These tools are designed specifically to open and read PST files, including emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, journals, and attachments, without requiring Microsoft Outlook.

    To view a PST file without Outlook:

    1. Download and Install MSOutlookHelp PST Viewer: Install a tool such as the PST File Viewer on your computer.

    2. Open the Viewer Tool: Launch the software once installed.

    3. Add the PST File: Use the "Select File" or "Select Folder" option to browse and choose the PST file you wish to open.

    4. Preview the Content: The tool will scan and display the PST file’s contents, allowing you to view emails, attachments, contacts, and more.

    5. Export Data: Many tools also allow you to export PST data into various formats like PDF, EML, MBOX, and CSV, making it easier to access or share the information.

    These tools work independently of Outlook, supporting all versions of Outlook PST files, including older and newer formats.
