Upstart

Upstart is an 8-in-1 multi-tool for working with PSTs:

1. Finds and lists PSTs
2. Copies or moves PSTs
3. Converts PSTs from ANSI to Unicode format
4. Merges PSTs (with optional de-duping)
5. Splits PSTs of any size (by size, date, time period or item class)
6. Extracts selected items from PSTs saving them to PSTs, MSGs or EMLs
7. Mines PSTs for email addresses
8. Consolidates any number of PSTs into a single "super archive" PST with each user's email in a separate folder tree

Key features

• Finds and lists all PSTs in a directory, directory tree, volume or across an entire system. Generates XML lists of PSTs with configurable fields for import into Excel, etc.
• Copies or moves PSTs, for example from users' PCs to a central location.
• Can be pushed to workstations (using, for example, PSExec) or run remotely using telnet to centralize PSTs or to do conversions and merges with no user interaction.
• Combines any number of PSTs into one -- in a single operation. Can merge PSTs at the root level or put each PST into its own folder tree.
• Supports deduplication during the merge process. This allows you, for example, to consolidate multiple overlapping archives.
• Can convert or merge all the PSTs on a drive with one command. Great for PSTs on file servers!
• Performs ANSI-to-Unicode conversions in place.
• Supports bulk conversions. Save loads of time by converting dozens of ANSI PSTs to Unicode in one shot.
• Splits PSTs by size, by date, by time periods (year, quarter or month), and by item class (email/Contact/appointment/task/etc.)
• Extracts items by class (email, contact, todo, etc), from/to, and date for archiving, forensic and other purposes. For example, it can extract all the contacts from all the PSTs on a system and save them into a single new PST.
• Handles all types of item: messages, Contacts, appointments, tasks, forms and views. (Outlook rules are a special case. Upstart handles rules in conversions with no problem but is not able to combine rules when merging PSTs.)
• Mines PSTs to extract every unique email address that messages have been sent to or received from.
• Guaranteed free from adware, snoopware, and all things nasty.
