How To Import Ost Data In Outlook?

Many Microsoft Outlook users complain that they cannot find any utility or feature

that might allow them to import OST file data to be used and accessed in Outlook. This is so, because, Microsoft hasn't devised any program that can be used to import OST e-mails. So, if you have an OST file, from which data needs to be imported, you must copy its contents to a PST file and then import them in other application. However, for an orphaned OST, the only solution is to use a Convert OST to PST file utility.

An OST file serves as the local copy of e-mails when Outlook is configured to use a MAPI account. Also termed as offline folders, these files are exact replica of mailboxes that are placed on Exchange Server computer. Microsoft Outlook cannot open an OST file. As such, to import file data, all you need is to convert OST in a readable form that Outlook might access, preferably as a PST file.

Reportedly, there have been many instances that leave OST in an orphaned state, after which it is no longer accessible by direct means. Consider a similar scenario when the Exchange administrator deletes a mailbox accidentally or as a part of some database corrective steps. Thus, as an end-user of this mailbox, you find your OST cannot be synchronized or accessed in Outlook, i.e., OST is orphaned.

Microsoft Exchange Server deals with an OST file by the server authentication that the associated user must pass in order to be able for local access of OST. The unique identity information of a user is stored as an encrypted cookie in Exchange Server profile that was originally used to create the OST file. Until this profile is intact and has not been modified, you can copy the OST data to a PST file and later import for further use.

However, in situations when the original profile has been either deleted or modified to an extent that it won't allow OST access, you need to take aid of a Convert OST utility. Using an efficient Convert OST to PST software, you get a PST file which can be imported and used as normal.

For best OST conversion results, use Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Desktop software. This is an exclusive and safe product designed to Convert OST files created with Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000. With its interactive design, you will find this tool easy-to-operate.
