PST2WEB offers the easiest, most versatile method of retrieving Personal Folder data without Outlook. The only requirement is an internet connection and web browser. This capability has been attempted with other products on the market, but Touchy Software Solutions is the only web based interface offering.

The ability to access your personal folder data via a web browser offers many benefits’ in that mobility to this information is not strictly confined to an Outlook client and VPN access. PST2WEB could be used for other purposes’ as well. Sharing information to external and internal clients. The ability to have a Outlook client open a PST file, organize the folder structure and mail items in a standardized, understandable fashion, then disconnect the PST file connection, doesn’t require any web programming or special rights assignments to share this information to internet clients. Multiple internet clients can view the same Personal Folder data as well. This gives your organization the ability to sharing information with external clients quickly and efficiently.

Imagine; if your organization needs to advertise information to external partners in a combined, logical structure, what easier way to identify this information than an email. (With the ability to download attachments, and no Global Access List viewing).

PST2WEB could also be used to maintain archived email data that’s been purged from the mailbox but access is still needed. Instead of moving the Personal Folder data to the client, configuring the Outlook client for access, a simple URL could be distributed to the client to view all their information. This scenario could save your IT department valuable time not having to configure down to the client level.

PST2WEB is easy to install, configure and deploy. Client access is seamless without any user training. In fact, if the client only has one Personal Folder in their specific profile, that Personal Folder is automatically opened for viewing. If multiple Personal Folders are configured, that client will be given a drop down box to choose what PST file to open. After that, it's just like navigating through folders in Outlook. Of course a user name & password is needed for access! The web application portion of setup take approximately 3 minutes to setup on a Windows based system with .Net Framework 2.0 installed. The hardest setup requirement will be determining the clients Personal Folder location. Access can be determined via a local drive, network share and administrative shares. This flexibility gives you access to any PST file within your network.

Limitations of PST2WEB include, current Outlook connections to each PST file must be closed, password protected PST files are not supported.
