PST File

File extension .PST
CategoryDocument File
DescriptionPST files are intended for storing mail elements on PCs, which include mail folders and their content. PST stores copies of these elements locally, and they are supported by well-known and common applications, particularly Outlook. Users can get to their emails even when there is no stable IT connection. PSTs can be accessed via whatever version is installed on your PC. Files saved in later versions use Unicode can hold a lot more data than those created in earlier ones, which use ANSI. Users who prefer not to use this program may choose to convert messages to other formats and open them in third party utilities.

Extracted 5 years of archived emails from a PST file so I could import them into my new IMAP account. Every message, attachment, and folder came through without data loss.

Our IT team needed individual EML files from a PST archive for a litigation review — the tool extracted them cleanly and maintained the original timestamps, which was critical for the legal team.

Convert PST to EML — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

PST is Outlook's proprietary database format that stores multiple emails, folders, contacts, and calendar items in a single binary file. EML is a standard format storing one email per file in RFC 2822 format. PST requires Microsoft Outlook to open; EML opens in Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Windows Mail, and dozens of other clients.
No. The converter processes PST files server-side without requiring Microsoft Outlook or any Office software on your machine.
The converter extracts all emails from the PST and produces individual EML files. The desktop Total Outlook Converter Pro preserves the folder hierarchy by creating matching subfolders for each Outlook folder (Inbox, Sent, Archive, etc.).
Yes. Attachments from each email are embedded in the corresponding EML file using MIME encoding, exactly as they were stored in the PST.
The online converter accepts files up to 50 MB. PST files from active Outlook accounts are often several gigabytes. For large PST archives, use the desktop Total Outlook Converter Pro, which has no file size limit.

Convert PST to EML Online

PST files are Outlook's proprietary mailbox format — locked to Microsoft's ecosystem. EML is the open standard that every email client understands: Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail, Postfix, and any mail system you might migrate to. Converting PST to EML liberates your emails from Outlook's format, making them portable, archivable, and importable into any client.

What Is PST?

PST (Personal Storage Table) is Microsoft Outlook's proprietary file format for storing emails, contacts, calendar events, tasks, and notes locally on a PC. PST files can grow to tens of gigabytes and are only fully supported by Microsoft Outlook. They cannot be imported into Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail, or other clients without conversion. PST files are also notorious for corruption when they exceed 2 GB (old format) or 50 GB (Unicode format).

What Is EML?

EML is the standard email file format defined by RFC 2822. Each .eml file contains one complete email — headers, body, inline images, and attachments — in plain text with MIME encoding. EML is supported by virtually every email client: Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Windows Mail, Gmail (import), eM Client, The Bat!, and most enterprise email systems. EML files can also be opened in any text editor for inspection or legal review.
