Opening an Outlook .PST file in Office:mac 2011

Hi,

I have plowed through discussions concerning importing Outlook Windows data files (.PST) into a Mac Office (in my case, Office:mac 2011) but I am really looking for behaviour similar to that of the Windows client. My current .PST file is located on a shared remote drive on our company network, which is backed up regularly and as I am using both the Windows and the Mac flavor, I would need the Mac version to open the PST file in a similar fashion, ie. online, and use it as my email storage box. As I understand, importing a Windows-made PST file makes local copies of the email messages and events, which would mean I would need to be importing the Windows PST file every day to have the same or similar version run on both computers.

So just to make it clear: is it possible to use the "online2 PST file with the Mac client in the same fashion as with the Windows client?

Thanks in advance!
