How to read mails from Outlook or .PST Files

Pandya Anil asked:

Dear Experts,

What is the best way to "read mails" using C#, below are my doubts

1) Reading it through .PST Files, or connecting with Outlook ?
2) Is it compulsory to install Outlook on the system where I will run the app?
3) can I read mails from remote computer?.

I would like to do this as a standalone Winforms application, not as an Outlook addin (if that is possible).

Kindly guide me the right way and also point me to some good articles.

thanks in advance

Anil :)
