    Opening a PST file without Outlook is useful when Outlook is not installed, corrupted, or you need quick access to email data. The easiest way is to use a dedicated BLR PST Converter Tool. These tools are designed to open and read PST files directly on Windows without any dependency on Outlook.

    After installing the tool, you add the PST file from your computer. The software scans the file and neatly displays all mailbox items, including emails, attachments, contacts, and folders. Most reliable tools also offer a preview option, allowing you to check the data before exporting or saving it in another format. This method is safe, quick, and avoids data loss.
