OST file

I deleted my Exchange mail account because the corporate
exchange server harddrive crashed and I now need access
to my outlook.ost file. I have tried Norton and "recover
my files" with no success. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to recover the .ost which is 400 MB?
Thank you for your time. - Mark Adkins

I understand the conversion process but I need to find
the .ost file. Where is it located? I have tried recovery
tools but have not had any luck. Also I looked in
C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Adkins\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook but it is not there. Thank you for
any help you can give me.

When you delete the Exchange account, the OST goes with it.

Thank you both for your information. I have found my 1.1
GB .ost file and have tried to convert it to a .pst using
OST2PST v2.1 but the conversion fails. Do you know any
other converstion tools?

I found the 1.1 GB .ost file but when I try to convert it
using OST2PST v2.1 it fails with Internal error
(code=0000000E). When did a search on this error I found
that OST2PST works great, with one exception - Outlook
2003 .ost files. Microsoft changed this and .pst files to
incorporate new features with Outlook 2003. It will begin
the conversion and then crash the process.

Is there a version that works on Outlook 2003 .ost files?

2003 OSTs don't have the 2 Gb limitation.
