Search PST Archives
Years of correspondence sit in PST files – on drives, in project folders, from colleagues who moved on long ago. Lookeen makes these archives searchable again without opening them in Outlook.
The typical situation
Scattered archives
PST files sit on local disks, network drives and backups.
Knowledge of former staff
Important matters live in mailbox exports of people who are no longer around.
Slow and tedious
Opening and searching each PST in Outlook one by one takes time.
How Lookeen helps
Single files or whole folders
With Lookeen Server, add single PST files or entire directories full of PSTs as a source.
A schedule per location
Each PST location gets its own indexing frequency – from "always" through hourly and daily to "once" for closed archives.
Together with the mailbox
PST content appears alongside current emails, files and Exchange data in one result list.
Permissions preserved
Lookeen Server reads the permissions of PST items at index time and only shows results to authorized users.
Good to know
- Attachments included: Attachments inside PST archives are searched by content and shown in the preview.
- Scanned attachments: With OCR enabled, scanned PDFs and TIFFs inside PST files become searchable too.
- On the workstation: Lookeen Desktop searches the PST files connected in Outlook as well.
