Dear ScooterSoftware,
BeyondCompare has made my computer usage life easy in lots of ways. Although I use various other software for various requirements, BeyondCompare continues to give a simple, no-hassle experience whenever I use it.
One area where I could not find a suitable software so far; has been some utility for comparing Two Outlook PST files. I do not need to compare across two different machines, just Two PST files on one machine. I have always wished that it would be wonderful if BeyondCompare did the job.
I did explore BeyondCompare forums and it seemed that this feature was on the wishlist until 2009; however around 2009 BeyondCompare endorsed another software for doing the specific job.
Frankly, I will be more comfortable to use the feature in a software that I have been comfortable with - BeyondCompare.
On further search around on the web I came across following page; which seems to suggest that PST specification might be officially available now.

So can we look forward to have a robust and simple solution within BeyondCompare to compare two PST files the way we have feature to compare two REG files. As far as my requirements are concerned; initially I will be a very happy with having just a simple READ-Only comparison with feature to toggle the view between Flat and Folder.
In folder view the message items should be visible under their specific Outlook folders.
In Flat view the message items should be listed without their folders.
I know once you go ahead; it will not be limited to just the above mentioned feature; we will get more; have been looking forward to version 4 of BeyaondCompare since sometime - if something like it is there in the next version then it would e really GREAT.
Will look forward to your views.
With Regards
