Unfortunately the several Microsoft Office file viewers are only that, provide the ability to view the contents of a file when the apps within the Office suite are not installed, can't do much more. I've not come across a Viewer for the .pst and .ost files since starting with Office Version 4.5 [individual app versions 6] but such may exist as third-party apps.

I usually go through the messages, double-click a choice then choose to print using Microsoft Print to PDF feature.

It has the ability to import PST files so they can be viewed, exported to other E-mail software, printed, etc. The only thing I'm unsure of is if it needs Outlook installed on your machine but I don't think it does because you can either import from Outlook or a PST file.

It's also great for migrating from one E-mail client to another; I used it to migrate from Thunderbird to Outlook.

You'll then get a dialog box asking you where the PST file is:

Fill in the name and password (if it has one) and click Next. This is as far as I can go because I don't have a PST I want to archive but it should be straightforward from here.

You don't want to export it; you want to print it. Unfortunately MailStore doesn't let you select a printer; it just prints to your default. What you can do is change your default printer to "Microsoft Print to PDF" or other similar software (like Cute PDF or Bullzip PDF Printer). When you print the document you'll be asked what to name it and you'll have your E-mail message "exported" to a PDF file. The Print button is in the window that displays your E-mail:

It's a cheesy solution but it works!
