Some emails were lost. Can I take an old *.ost Offline
File and import it back into an exchange server or a *pst
file. I looked under import and didn't see *.ost as an
options. Thanks.

Can you still open the OST file in the mail profile for which it was
created? If so you can export it to a PST file.

If not - www.exchangerecovery.com can help you....but it isn't cheap.

One possibility, which I haven't tried:
1) Create a new profile and configure it for offline folder usage
2) Logon to the new profile and get it to sync one time
3) Close Outlook
4) Break network connection
5) Replace OST in new profile with the OST you need to access
6) Start Outlook in offline mode
7) Export the items to a PST
