This is just a guess, but you might investigate OLE structured storage. This
was a technology that MS was pushing some years ago (long before .Net),
that's essentially a 'file system in a file'. There's a chance that Outlook
might be using this, but mind you this is just a hunch. Daniel Appleman's
Desaware offers a set of structured storage tools, and a query to their
technical people on the question might flush out some interesting
information. If anyone would know, they would. Try them at

I've seen several posts with this query but no answers or replies. Is there
any easy way of opening a pst file in VB.NET? I can't find anything on the
net other than connect to the default Outlook file. I need to open a
personal file folder pst. Any ideas?
