quick questions guys..

I have about 5 or 6 old 3-5GB outlook PST files that I'd like to be able to index and search quickly.   I've never found that Google Desktop Search would be able to index these old PST files - plus it is a crazy resource hog

that being said, do any of the desktop programs index/search these old pst files?  is something like copernic going to be less of a resource hog compared to GDS or microsoft's desktop search?

Are there any others?

thanks!

i'm interested too in such a tool as an alternative to Windows Desktop Search.

Have you read this (very long) thread?

I'm a bit concerned about the file sizes you quoted (isn't there a 2G limit on PST files?)

best tool I know of for dealing with PST files is <a href="http://www.mailstore.com"> MailStore </a>

I use it for working with about 10 different PST files and it's great (a very nice find by Carol Haynes!!)

see the thread where it was discussed <a href="https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=12851.0">here</a>

i was concerned too about this 2GB PST limit but i found out that it doesn't apply for Outlook 2003 & onwards.
