Outlook email messages are stored in personal storage tables, or PST files. PST files contain email messages, file attachments, calendar items and notes, and can grow to be several gigabytes. We’ve seen them as large as 50 GB. Pst Viewer Pro will now have the benefit of fully utilizing the memory on your computer while it performs search and export operations.
Version 4.8 of Pst Viewer Pro was released in February, 2013. The trial download file combines both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions into a single installer, and will automatically install the correct version on your computer. Version 4.8 has many important updates and is recommended for all current Pst Viewer Pro customers. Current customers who have not installed version 4.8 will have a 32-bit version. To update from within Pst Viewer Pro, go to Help > Check for Updates
Run the Pst Viewer Pro update installer. If your computer is running a 64 bit Windows operating system, then Pst Viewer Pro 64-bit will be installed automatically. If you want to check to be sure, go to Help > About and look for the Pst Viewer Pro version number.
