PST Converter Tool: frequently asked questions

All 8 technical & workflow FAQs
Can I convert PST files without Microsoft Outlook installed on my machine?

Yes. Outlook, Exchange and Office do not need to be installed. Prism reads raw binary blocks directly off disk using an internal 64-bit engine that processes files directly without requiring Outlook.

My PST is 48GB and ScanPST.exe keeps crashing. Can you salvage my emails?

When an oversized archive experiences corruption or the built-in Inbox Repair Tool (ScanPST) encounters difficulty repairing severely damaged block tables in place, Prism provides a non-destructive alternative. Prism operates in strict read-only mode on your original source file, reading readable node allocations directly and streaming undamaged messages into fresh destination files without altering the source archive.

What's the catch with the Free Trial? Are there hidden limits?

The free trial lets you load any PST, inspect the entire folder hierarchy, and preview rich HTML email bodies along with full RFC headers and attachments. You can export up to 50 items per folder to check the result before you buy.

Will my nested folder structure and inline images stay intact?

Yes. The engine reconstructs your folder hierarchy while extracting document attachments in their original format, preserving inline images, and retaining standard RFC email headers (From, To, CC, BCC, Date, Subject, Message-ID). You can verify folder hierarchy and formatting in your own sample files using the free 50-item evaluation.

Does it handle Contacts and Calendars too, or just basic emails?

Yes. In addition to emails, Prism extracts Contacts (to vCard or CSV) and Calendar appointments (to standard iCal/ICS format), and can synchronize them to supported cloud destinations such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Note that Outlook-specific personal views or local client rules remain client-specific and are not converted.

How to convert PST to PDF with attachments and legal Bates stamping?

Yes. It is tailor-made for legal teams and compliance audits. In Step 4, choose PDF to produce ISO 19005-1 compliant PDF/A records with sequential Bates stamping (such as CASE-0001), custom header/footer coordinates, and original attachments embedded directly inside the document.

How to import PST to Office 365 and migrate mailboxes without AzCopy?

Yes. You will not need complex Azure AzCopy command lines, PowerShell scripts, or network upload SAS URLs. Administrators authenticate once using Microsoft 365 Graph API delegated access, load all corporate PST files into our User Mapping table, and let the engine import PST to Office 365 directly into target cloud mailboxes.

What happens if my laptop goes to sleep or Wi-Fi drops halfway through?

You won't lose a thing. Prism has a built-in SQLite Checkpoint Resume Center. Every converted item gets cryptographically logged. If your laptop sleeps or your Wi-Fi resets, just reopen the app and hit "Resume"—it picks up right from message #41,209 without creating duplicate records.
