Pst Mail

So grateful this exists as it’s saved me a massive headache I was having with outlook and their terrible experience importing pst files on iOS. This was quick and easy to sort and can view old emails on my iPad with ease. The only improvement to make it better in my experience would be to add a quick scroll function for the inbox. I have many emails and scrolling on the left navigation is slow. The slider bar isn’t interactive unfortunately.

For anyone with the slightly specialised need to access an offline Outlook PST file from their phone or ipad, this is a near-perfect solution. One star deducted for an occasional crash when printing, but otherwise an exceptionally polished app that works as well as anyone could reasonably wish. It handles an enormous PST file (8GB) with ease and does so somewhat better than my Outlook desktop client, displaying emails that Outlook itself appears not to be able to find.

I needed this app since I had my iPad, I have 5 years worth of email history, and it's now all on my iPad. Search works great, seems very fast, my files are very big! All attachments are accessible, so all content is available. Only improvement I could think of is it would be good if you could do a search across all pst files, and that now exists. Never will I need to wish I had my laptop with me again. This is my fav iPad app, so good, that this app alone makes it worth owning an iPad.

Bought this because when we travel I want an iPad but have a 3Gb of legacy outlook mail with many folders and attachments in outlook pst files, which I made need to reference. This way I can leave the microsoft laptop at home and travel light with an ipad. Yet still have access to the pst archive. This is a good solution.

Version 1.1 of PST Mail seems to work OK, but I had to buy the full version before it would import my 1.55GB PST file, the lite version just hung at 0.22GB. Once the file is loaded you do have access to all your mail, but if the reference to PST files makes you think it will look like Outlook, as I did, you will be sadly disappointed. The user interface is clunky and quite childish looking. If you have many nested folders it is very easy to loose your way and forget where you are, which can make searching for mail events difficult. The application price is over 3 times the going rate for such apps and it needs much more work on the interface before it can be considered acceptable and worth the cost. I can only give it two stars for effort. The idea is good though, and the app could be worth 5 stars when it looks better.

Excellent app! Glad I found it. It was good to be able to try out the free version first.

This app is the best £6.99 I've spent at iTunes. It does exactly what it says an the tin. I can now confidently only take my iPad with me to meetings and days out of the office as I have everything to hand synced correctly to when I left the office. I can open sent items, open attachments and forward / reply to messages on the move without any worries. Great stuff thanks for making the iPad so much more useful as a business tool.

this app sounded incredible and a possible panacea for all WINTEL machine users who wished to travel light! unfortunately, whilst the sync vis Itunes worked, it is a statis file which keeps needing to be deleted on your Ipad and then readded to be updated. the PST mail sync app which is supposed to the job via a Windows machine just doesnt work. it just never syncs, tho it finds the computer and shows the right pst file in the sync window. tried contacting support to no avail.

This is one of the most useful apps for business people who need to refer to old emails or have large amounts of stored email data available to them on the move. It allows you to copy your outlook pst files to your device and read or search emails and view the emails and open the attachments. It is not a mail program and is not intended to be. It is a pst file reader with advanced search functions. What is nifty is being able to reply or forward emails straight from the app. The emails still get sent and stored by the default mail app, but it is useful not to have to copy and paste before using the email. Only downside is not being able to sync the to do action flags from outlook and merge them into the reminders app / calendar / or even a to do list within the app. This would deserve the fifth star. But still pretty good, and in conjunction with GoodReader, allows you to leave the laptop at home and just take the iPad on business trips.

A total waste of money, don't buy this if you want to send or receive emails with it, because it doesn't do that even though it's sold as a mail program. I bought this thinking you could send and receive emails hoping to get a better choice of fonts and add attachments etc for sending messages, which you are restricted with on the standard mail program. Can I have my money back?
