    Free or shareware Outlook converter

    Looking to see if anyone knows of a free OST to PST file converter. I only have the ost file. Somehow my entire exchange mailbox got deleted and I was just lucky I happened to be able to copy my OST file before it synced with the exchange server.
    So basically any option in relation to export from outlook is non existent as my outlook account is essentially empty.
    Thanks

    Hi, ChristianJunge

    There are several methods to convert OST file to PST file.

    First, Microsoft does not provide an official tool to do the conversion. However, if you can access the contents of the OST file in your Outlook, then you can perform the conversion manually, as follows:


    1. Start Outlook. Make sure you can access all the contents in the OST file to be converted.
    2. Create a new PST file.
    3. Go to the OST file, select and copy all the contents to be converted with your mouse.
    4. Go back to the new PST file, then paste all the contents into the PST file


    That will do the ost 2 pst conversion.


    You can also perform the conversion by exporting the contents of OST file to PST file by following the instructions at:


    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/o...102534110.aspx


    Second, if you can access the Exchange server containing the account data for the OST file, then you can use Export-Mailbox command to export the data into a PST file, similar to convert your OST file into a PST file. Below is the article about doing that:


    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb266964.aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc535123.aspx


    Third, you can try a free OST to PST converter via Outlook VBA . Below is the article about doing that:

    Hope this will help. Good Luck!

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    You can try [commercial product link removed by Moderator] There is both a free and paid version of the following, not sure if the free version will have all the features you need but I have used a couple of their other products so was aware of this one. Would be interested in your feedback how it works if you try it.
