OST to PST conversion

[Dhiren]

Hi,

I forgot to export my contacts from Outlook at my previous company but
have a copy of the OST file. Is there any *free* tool to convert it to
PST and recover my contacts? I've found several demo applications on
the web which show that the file has my contacts but are pretty
expensive to use in full mode. I obvoiusly don't have access to the
exchange server this OST is associated with.

Thanks!

Dhiren

Did you bring a copy of the OST with you or were you using it on your
computer and deleted the profile already? if the second, system restore may
bring back the profile so you can export. Otherwise, you'll need to buy an
app, especially if you use Outlook 2003 or 2007 - there is a pirated copy of
ost2pst floating around the net but it doesn't work with unicode ost.

I have the OST with me but I'm on a different computer with no access
to the old exchange server. I've tried ost2pst from pwdservice but no
luck. I get "Internal Error (Error code 0000000E)". Is this because of
a unicode ost or do I not have the correct ost2pst file?

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the error code, but if the file is from prior to 2003,
its because of Unicode. (Look on the file's properties for the file date. )

The simplest approach to convert an OST file to PST format is to utilize a third-party tool rather than the manual technique since the manual method has several constraints and limitations such as the complexity of the procedures, the time required, the possibility of OST file corruption, and many more. So, using third-party software, such as MailConverterTools OST to PST Converter, is the most effective approach to convert an OST file to PST format. There are no restrictions while using the program to convert OST files of any size to PST files. The application did not lose any OST data while conversion. This OST to PST Converter is compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows. Additionally, users can utilize the free demo version of this tool to evaluate its capabilities.
