Reading .pst files without Outlook 2007

Is there anyone who know a program / software that reads .pst files without
actually rely on Outlook 2007?
I used Recovery Toolbox for Outlook, and it did extract the emails that were
in the pst file and it has its interface, that's good. However, is missing
one crucial part, the date of when the email was sent.

it does not not state the dates when those emails were sent and that is very
important for me as I have thousands of emails that I track through the
date(s).

Does anyone knows a similar program that does what was mentioned above, but
also displays the dates of when the email was sent too?

Feel free to suggest or any tips/tricks.
Thank you and appreciated.
 
P.S. - The Recovery Toolbox for Outlook app, in its interface does show of
when the email was sent, however, you can read the mail even with double
click. You have to first export it into a folder. However, once the emails
are exported into a folder, it shows the date of when the emails were
extracted. NOT the date of when the email was sent..... sigh.... any help
would be much appreciated. Thank you.

What do you mean by "shows the date of when the emails were extracted"?
Where do you see the date? Are you looking at the files in Windows Explorer
or are you opening them in Outlook to examine them and see the date there?
 
In Windows Explorer. They show the date of when they were extracted from pst
file.
Just needed something that would show the date of when the email was sent.
 
They are showing the modified date, which is to be expected in explorer,
also would be shown if you exported msgs to an Outlook pst
 
Problem solved. Just used Aid4Mail to extract all the emails that were inside
the pst file. When I see all the emails listed in the Windows explorer, on
the Date tab shows the email actually sent date. That's what I needed most.

Thank you for all the help. Much appreciated.

I would expect you to see the dates the external files were created then.
WIndows doesn't know they're mail files. It just sees that you creates some
new files on whatever their dates are.
 
There is .NET API to read/create .pst files:
