Retrieve username from multiple .pst file opened in outlook

[Sachin Shakya]

Hi all,

Is is possible to retrieve username from multiple .pst
file opened in outlook? As .pst file copied from outlook
can be opened in outlook, is it possible to retrieve the
username?

PST file does not have any user names associated with it. User names and
addresses (i.e. accounts) are stored separately in the registry.

Thanks 4 the quick response!!

I have to export the .pst files opened in the Outlook. As
it is possible to open more than one .pst file in the
Outlook, while exporting the items from those .pst files,
i need to know the username(or name of the owner of
that .pst file) so that i could separate the items
according to the NAME.

As Dmitry said, PST files have no user names associated with them. Perhaps you could get the information you seek by looking at the SenderName for items in the Sent Items folder, if one exists in the file.
