Outlook PST Manager

Why BoPST?

Switching your email program raises one big question: what happens to the countless gigabytes of old Outlook data?

Importing the entire archive sight unseen makes your mailbox slow and cluttered from day one. But simply abandoning the old data is no option either – it may well hold important invoices, project histories or old contracts.

BoPST is the archive companion to BoMail PRO: you start your day with a perfectly tidy, fast mailbox and still reach your old Outlook files (.pst / .ost) whenever you need them – smartly, selectively and with no compromise on performance.

100 % without Outlook
No Office licence, no Outlook installation required. BoPST reads the PST format entirely on its own.
Lightning-fast full-text search
A modern search index scans even massive archives in a fraction of a second – keyword, sender or attachment found instantly.
Targeted export
No blindly dragging along old newsletters: export exactly the emails you actually need in BoMail PRO.
Preview & attachments
View and open emails including attachments – without importing them into your mailbox first.
BoPST & BoMail PRO

BoPST is launched directly from BoMail PRO. In this mode all Pro features are available (see page 3). Without being started from BoMail PRO, BoPST runs as a limited FREE version.

Ready in 60 seconds

BoPST shows your archive in three areas: the folder tree on the left, the message list at the top right, and the preview with the attachment strip below.

Step by step

  1. Open a PST file Click OPEN PST-FILE(S) … and select one or more .pst or .ost files. The opened paths are remembered and reloaded automatically on the next start.
  2. Pick a folder Click the desired folder in the tree on the left. Its emails appear immediately in the list on the right (date, sender, attachments, subject).
  3. Read an email Click a message – the preview below shows sender, recipient, subject, date and the full content, including the attachment strip.
Search index in the background

The first time you open a PST file, BoPST automatically builds a search index. Progress is shown in the status bar at the bottom. After that, the full-text search returns results almost instantly.

Search, attachments & export

Full-text search

Just type into the Search Email field. From the 3rd character onward, BoPST searches live as you type – across sender, recipient, subject and message body. Use X next to the field to clear the search.

Open & save attachments

In the attachment strip, the mouse pointer turns into a hand over an attachment. A click (or double-click) opens the attachment with its default application. To keep a copy, use Save attachment from the context menu.

Export emails

Select one or more messages and drag & drop them straight into BoMail PRO or into any Windows folder. Each email is exported as an .eml file including all attachments.

FREE version
Max. 50 messages per folder, max. 10 search results. No attachment saving, no drag&drop export.
PRO version
Unlimited display & result count, save attachments, drag&drop export – active when started from BoMail PRO.
System requirements

Windows (x64), .NET Framework 4.8 and the WebView2 runtime. No Outlook and no Microsoft Office required – BoPST reads the archives entirely on its own.

Full functionality
