Many Outlook users often ask how to open an OST file in Outlook, especially when the Exchange Server is unavailable or the original Outlook profile has been deleted. By default, Outlook cannot directly open or import OST files, as they are linked to a specific profile and account. To access the data inside an OST file, the best solution is to convert it into a PST format — and for that, the eSoftTools OST to PST Converter Software is an excellent choice. This tool makes it extremely simple to open and read OST file data by converting it into a PST file that can be easily imported into any version of Outlook.
Using the
eSoftTools OST to PST Converter, you can open both healthy and corrupted OST files. It scans the file and provides a full preview of emails, contacts, calendars, attachments, and other mailbox items before conversion. Once the scan is complete, you can export all your data into a new PST file, which can then be opened in Outlook without any connectivity issues. The software also supports multiple export formats like PST, EML, MSG, MBOX, and HTML, giving users flexibility for different platforms.
This tool works perfectly with all versions of Microsoft Outlook (2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and earlier) and supports all Windows operating systems. It also maintains the original folder hierarchy, email metadata, and attachments during conversion, ensuring no data loss. Additionally, it offers a free demo version, allowing you to convert a few items from OST to PST to test its functionality before upgrading to the full version.
