Common Questions Asked by User
1. Which output file formats and platforms are supported by Outlook PST Converter Pro?
Softaken Ultimate Outlook PST Converter Pro exports PST to standard mail formats (MBOX, EML, EMLX, MSG), document / web formats (PDF, HTML, MHTML, RTF, TXT), contacts & calendar (VCF / vCard, CSV, ICS), and enterprise / cloud targets including IMAP, Office 365 / Gmail upload workflows, Zimbra TGZ, and Lotus Notes NSF.
2. Do I need to have Microsoft Outlook installed or configured on my PC to convert PST files?
No. The software uses a 100% standalone conversion engine. You can open, preview, recover, and convert PST files on Windows, Mac, or Linux without installing or configuring Microsoft Outlook.
3. Where is my Outlook PST file located on Windows?
Default PST locations:
- Outlook 2013 / 2016 / 2019 / 2021 / Microsoft 365:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Outlook Files - Older Outlook:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook
Softaken can open ANSI and UNICODE PST from those folders for PST conversion without Outlook installed.
4. Does this software support both ANSI and UNICODE PST files created by all Outlook versions?
Yes. The tool supports both ANSI and UNICODE PST files created by Outlook versions commonly used on Windows, including older archives and newer Outlook PST data.
5. Can this tool convert password-protected, encrypted, or orphaned PST files?
Yes. Password-protected PST files convert when you enter the correct password when prompted. Orphaned, inaccessible, or damaged PST files can be processed with non-destructive Deep Scan / recovery-focused parsing so recoverable mailbox items can still be exported — without altering the source PST bits.
6. How is Softaken Deep Scan different from Microsoft ScanPST.exe on large corrupt PST files?
Unlike ScanPST.exe, which frequently fails or deletes unreadable records on oversized 20 GB+ PST files, Softaken uses non-destructive Deep Scan to recover mail items without altering source bits, then lets you export with this Outlook PST converter to MBOX, EML, PDF, MSG, and more.
7. Will the conversion process preserve email attachments, rich-text formatting, and folder structure?
Yes. Conversion is designed to keep folder hierarchy, email attachments, and message formatting (including HTML / rich-text content) according to the selected output format, with options to filter empty folders where supported.
8. Does the software support converting Outlook contacts to VCF and calendar items to ICS?
Yes. Outlook contacts can be exported to VCF (vCard) — including vCard 4.0 / RFC 6350 style support — and CSV. Calendar items can be exported to ICS (iCalendar) for use in calendar apps and other platforms.
9. Is there any file size limit when converting large multi-gigabyte PST files (e.g., 50 GB+)?
There is no artificial file-size cap in the licensed software for typical multi-gigabyte and oversized PST archives (including 20 GB / 50 GB+ files). Available system resources (RAM and free disk space) should be sufficient for large conversions.
10. What are the specific limitations of the free trial version of Outlook PST Converter Pro?
Demo version converts and exports the first 25 emails / items per folder for each output format so you can verify preview, filters, and export quality. The full license (from $29) unlocks unlimited conversion.
