HELP convert .ost file to .pst

[SG]

I had a notebook crash and now I am left with an orphaned
outlook.ost file. The only way I can use this information
store is by converting to a .pst file that can be read by
OL or OE. The file is valid, and it has 4 years worth of
contacts in it so I am desparately trying to find a tool
that will convert it. I found one on the web for $700!
Can't afford that. Any suggestions for cheaper software or
public domain utilities would be much appreciated. Please
email me off-list, my newsreader is not working. Thanks!

Use ‘Archiving’ to save OST emails to PST :-

By enabling the Auto Archive method in Outlook, you will be able to save the items of OST file in a separate PST file. This method helps you to keep the size of your mailbox manageable. When the size of the mailbox grows and there are multiple messages that are older and you do not require them to be in the mailbox, then you can put them in the archive folder easily. Follow the simple steps to enable auto archiving in Outlook.

-Launch the Outlook application, go to File, and click Options.
-Go to Advanced and click Auto Archive Settings.
-Now select the number of days in which you want to run auto archiving. Select the folder to save the archived file; also, provide the archiving options and finally click OK.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
