How do I import OST files?

[John Peter]

You can not access .ost data into outlook because there is no one utility to direct access ost data, In this situation you have to copy data in .pst format and than import tham in other application.The only solution is use convert ost utility......For more information visit

http://www.covnert-ost.net
http://www.convert-ost.net/blog

I recently left a company and brought my archive files with me. I do not
have3 the original machine ( Windows xp + Outlook 2000) and now have Vista
with Windows MAil.

I cannot run the import utility ( Cannot import messagesfrom the MAPI
client)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Replace the existing OST with the OST you want to import into outlook.

Open outlook.

At this point you should see all the old emails and folders.



Now, export these mails to PST format.

Close the outlook.



Go to the outlook OST folder again.

Delete the OST. ( next time when you restart outlook it will automatically create a new OST, so dont worry!).



Open the Outlook.

Let it download all the existing emails from the Exchange server.

Now import the mails from the PST your created above.



I hope this helps.

Dear,

In this situation if you have the Outlook OST file you can easily retrieve all your mailbox content. You just need to convert the OST file into PST file. Use a third Party convert ost to pst converter such as Stellar Phoenix Convert OST PST, to efficiently convert ost file data into a pst file. You can get the tool from
http://www.stellarconvertostpst.com

Free version of the tool is available to evaluate the efficiency and ease of use. Free evaluation version of the tool previews all the recoverable ost file contents in full.

I recently left a company and brought my archive files with me. I do not
have3 the original machine ( Windows xp + Outlook 2000) and now have Vista
with Windows MAil.

I cannot run the import utility ( Cannot import messagesfrom the MAPI
client)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Open outlook.

Export current emails to PST.

Close the Outlook.

Go to outlook OST folder.

[ in general C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook ]



Replace the existing OST with the OST you want to import into outlook.

Open outlook.

At this point you should see all the old emails and folders.



Now, export these mails to PST format.

Close the outlook.



Go to the outlook OST folder again.

Delete the OST. ( next time when you restart outlook it will automatically create a new OST, so dont worry!).



Open the Outlook.

Let it download all the existing emails from the Exchange server.

Now import the mails from the PST your created above.



I hope this helps.

What possessed you to reply to a 2+ yr old message that was correctly
answered 2 yrs ago, with the wrong answer? Your method will only work if
the original profile that created the OST exists on the user's machine -
which he said it does not:

"I recently left a company and brought my archive files with me. I do not
have the original machine"

The only way for this user to get into the contents is using an OST to PST
conversion tool. See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/ost2pst.asp for
tools and methods if the exchange acct exists or was recently deleted.

I cannot believe how belittling you are to someone who is trying to help.
Yes they got it wrong, but you do not need to treat someone like that. You
devalue the title of MVP by your behavior.
extraordinary behaviour, we await an apology.....

5 years old or not, it is still a valid question.

5 years old or not, it is still a valid question.

The question may be valid, but almost certainly the answer is useless.
It's *extremely* unlikely that the person who asked will ever see the
answer.

The answer is SPAM, plain and simple. I snipped the SPAM portion out
of the reply in case you missed the original reply.

So someone who asks a question that you feel you have heard to many
times is relegated to the SPAM folder?

Not very sportsman like, eh?

To retrieve the inaccessible offline data, one needs to repair the OST fileand convert it to usable PST file. For this, a good OST to PST converter is required which can efficiently retrieve unusable OST data and save them in new PST file so that they can be used with MS Outlook.

well if you wish to save you OST file even after the importing OST file to PST try Import OST software
