Outlook Pst file structure or how to detect that a Pst file was modifed or not

J

Hello,

I need to know when a pst file content was modifed or not.
The pst file date is changed all the time Outlook is accessing the
file, even no mail was received, moved or removed.
Checking the size of the pst is not enough for the case when mails are
just moved from one folder to another.
I tested on OutlookXP that when the pst file content is not modified,
the block between offset 0x4400 and Ox45EF is not changed so I compute
a crc32 with info inside this block.
But I am not sure that my solution is enough secure and general.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem or does anyone know the
structure of the pst file?
