GainTools PST Converter

Desktop email clients usually download portions of entire databases on your computer to provide fast access to your messages. However, you might later on change the client and your database is not under a suitable format. Luckily, you can attempt to convert with the help of specialized applications like GainTools PST Converter.

First of all, you might want to check whether or not your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, because it’s a mandatory requirement for functionality. On the other hand, it’s usually found in the default set of features delivered with modern Windows iterations, so there’s a high chance it’s already there.

The first window which shows up when the application is launched asks you to provide the PST file of interest, because it’s the only requirement for the operation to be successful. It instantly loads, and the intuitive interface provides comfortable navigation through its content.

There’s a side navigation panel which lets you easily browse through folders of your account, just as they are in the database files. Selecting a folder immediately shows contained messages in a table showing source and destination addresses, as well as the subject. More than this, you can view the content of an email by simply selecting it, just in case you also want to grab portions of text.

Folders can be selected from the main window, but item selection is also possible in the export options screen. Here you need to choose the format under which to save the new files, which can be EML, MSG, EMLX, MBOX, and VCF. You can choose to export the selected folders, ignore empty directories, or the complete content of the PST file as is.

Taking everything into account, GainTools PST Converter comes with a decent variety of features to make converting PST files a walk in the park for individuals of all levels of experience. Custom content can be selected and saved under formats like EML, MSG, MBOX, and VCF, making it worth your while overall.
