Have you asked if they have the full version of Microsoft Outlook so they can open the .pst file?
No - I would think that a decent size office should have Outlook.. but there I go thinking again and assuming...
That's my biggest complaint about this. I don't have Outlook installed locally. So this is always an issue.
I don't use Outlook any longer either.. but I see it as a Business Use case here....
What's the use case?
Working with a client's data.
I can see an Accounting firm using Xero or some other better tooll... but they have a client come to them with Quickboots. Is the firm suppose to turn away clients - and therefore work because they used QB? heck no. Saddle up, get it,. .and move on....
I don't understand any of this.
Serious? Client bring you data... it's irrelevant what it is in.. you either have the tools to work with it, or you get them. You don't stay in business by turning away work.
Why would clients be bringing you data in PST form?
In this case, because that is how Microsoft exports it.
At least someone understand. If you want to be able to actively work WITH the data, you have to have the 'original'... PDFs are great,..
Give them the PST file,.. or you PRINT OUT on paper. Which is it?
I still don't understand. Why is an attorney getting any of this?

But why is a PST being sent to an attorney, rather than to IT or whoever is doing the searches?
We are IT, We are the person doing the searches. It's being sent to the Company Owners - who is then forwarding them to the Attorney because of litigation.

An attorney would normally get this sort of thing for a Civil or other pending court case.

They would? Why not only get the bits that matter? I'm so lost. You are making conclusions but I don't see the pieces that lead to those conclusions.

Nothing more to follow, it was exported to PST from Microsoft O365, imported into Outlook and converted to PDF.
It has since been printed on Paper to be FedEx'ed.

Seems logical up to the printed and FedEx'd part. Why not send the PDF and they can print locally?
But the part I'm confused about is... why aren't the people doing discovery using the tools instead of the people getting the results?

-
@scottalanmiller Yes, and the not being able to use Discovery service, and teh not being able to add a pst to Outlook part.

Those aren't things I'd expect a lawyer to be doing, though. That's tech work for technical people, not legal work.
