Anyone who has ever dealt with Microsoft Outlook will know the .pst file format - it's the binary, undocumented file in which all data from Outlook is stored - emails, contacts, calendar, you name it, it's in there. Microsoft has announced that it will release detailed technical documentation on the Outlook .pst data format.

"Microsoft may be moving to a new mail archive format
They already have. Outlook 2003 uses OST by default. No idea what Outlook 2007 uses. PST died with Outlook 2002 (XP). " OST is offline file for Outlook to keep cache of Exchange mailbox, it is not same as PST!!! If any sane person clicks File->New->Outlook data file on Outlook 2007 you can choose between "Office Outlook Personal Folder File (.pst)" or "Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folder File (.pst)". New PST supports over 2GB file size and Unicode, there is probaply lot more changes but these are most visible. So stop giving plusses on person who spreads false information.
