Importing data from an Outlook OST (Offline Storage Table) file to Outlook.com can be a bit tricky since OST files are designed to work with the Outlook desktop application in an offline mode. However, you can still achieve this by following these steps:

Convert OST to PST:
Since OST files are meant to be used with the Outlook application, you'll first need to convert the OST file to a PST (Personal Storage Table) file, which is a format that can be easily imported into Outlook.com.

Use a third-party OST to PST conversion tool like "Stellar Converter for OST" or "Kernel for OST to PST Converter" to convert the OST file to PST. These tools usually have features to handle conversion and recovery.
Import PST to Outlook Desktop:
Once you have the PST file, you can import its contents into the Outlook desktop application:

Open Microsoft Outlook on your computer.
Click on the "File" tab.
Select "Open & Export" > "Import/Export."
Choose "Import from another program or file" and click "Next."
Select "Outlook Data File (.pst)" and click "Next."
Browse and select the PST file you converted from the OST.
Choose the desired import options and click "Next."
Select the destination folder where you want to import the data. You can choose your Outlook.com mailbox or create a new folder for the imported data.
Click "Finish" to start the import process.
Sync with Outlook.com:
After you've imported the PST data into the Outlook desktop application, you can then synchronize it with your Outlook.com account:

If you're using Outlook 2013, 2016, 2019, or Microsoft 365, you can set up your Outlook.com account using the "Outlook Connector" or by adding it as an Exchange account.
Once the synchronization is set up, the imported data from the PST file should be mirrored in your Outlook.com account.
Please note that this process involves using the Outlook desktop application, which might not be available or compatible with all operating systems. Additionally, this method might not work for all types of data within the OST file, as some features of the OST file might not translate perfectly to the web-based Outlook.com environment.

Before proceeding with any data migration, it's a good practice to back up your data and ensure you have a clear understanding of the process to avoid accidental data loss or corruption.
