ost to pst problem

[Hakan834]

Hi,


I have transfer one of the computers with all its details. Although we
do not use exchange server on smb 2003, somehow it stored all the
details in OST file.

I re-installed outlook. but is not accepting OST file. Instead it is
expecting a PST file.

I could not find a way to get around or find a free software.

Please help

Thank you

Hakan

if you have an ost then you were using exchange at one time. the ost can
only be opened by the profile that created it. You'll need to use a tool to
get the data out and I'm not aware of any free versions for a unicode ost.

There are issues that come with the process of converting OST files to PST. Some problems are as follows: there are, for example, “NotImplementedException” during the conversion procedure, as a result of which an exporting operation may produce either fewer features or an identical copy of the criteria. Unlike PST files, you cannot use the Inbox Repair Tools (SCANPST.EXE) to fix OST files; this means that the OST to PST converter tools from third parties are required. There is trustworthy software which can be used in order to work with the inaccessible or orphaned OST files: WebbyAcad OST Converter for instance will help to convert OST files without losing data and folder structure. This approach offers the users a sensible way of getting to their email data.
