Compare Outlook PST files
Here's the situation:
I have a user that has 2 .pst files. One from last week and one from this week. I want to compare the two and see what has changed. Is there a program\utility that can compare the two .pst files and tell me what the differences are?
Thank you!

Brettkm: I think that free utility might be EXACTLY what I need.
I know it sounds strange, but I have 2 .pst files one from last week and one from this week for a user. I need to find out EXACTLY what the differences are between the two. Let me give you a little more information and hopefully it will help:
Let's say I my first .pst for UserA from 11/25/10. It has the following emails:
Email 1
Email 2
Email 3
Email 4
Email 5
Let's say I have a 2nd .pst for UserA from 12/4/10. It has the following emails:
Email 1
Email 3
Email 5
I am interested in seeing ONLY: Email 2 & Email 4
I'm sure you are scratching your head as to why....Just to explain as much as I'm allowed to....Imagine going through a legal issue with UserA and you believe UserA realized he/she was in trouble and deliberately tried to remove all traces of evidence. UserA also had a 8GB .pst file on 11/24 and only has a 3.5GB .pst now. It would take me ages to figure out what he/she deleted.
I think I might have to contact the vendor or start a trial of your suggestion, Brett, of the software:
http://www.duplicate-remover.com/
(Which I guess is made by sync2pst)
Does that help clear up the actual question I had...?

Yep sure does. Let me khow if the software doesn't help and I'll help you search for others.
You can try a set of report from OutlookFreeware.com. For example this one:

After speaking with 4Team, I found a product that does the trick. It's not actually the "Duplicate-remover" program I want, it's "Duplicate Killer". Same company/different product. You have the option to take both duplicates and move them to another folder all together. That option works for me!
Can't beat it for $29.95.
Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction Brett!

You can download a trial which will allow you to delete/move/etc. 10 emails at a time.

By the way there is no need to pay since there is a free duplicates mover here:
