OST Import

J

JayJP

Hi,

I need to import emails from existing OST to the new OST (of same account).
The situation is as follows:

1. While working as a contract employee for my firm I was given a user name
and was using the exchange server for email communication.
2. I had the OST on my machine.
3. My contract was renewed with the same account after expiration of the
current account. But this was delayed due to internal administration
processes.
4. During the delay my user account was disabled in AD and the mailbox was
removed form exchange.
5. Now when the account is enabled and I logged in to my machine (same
machine) I got an empty mailbox on exchange.
6. Due to the above reason I want to import the emails form the OST to my
current account.
7. I feel that as the account is same, I should be able to use the same OST.
However, in the system, I observed that a different profile was created when
I logged in after contract renewal (for example earlier it was just the
<username> but not a new profile with name <user>.<domain> was created. I am
not sure if the account was disabled or deleted and re-created due to this.

Please suggest a way to import the messages from OST in this case.

Thanks

If you have not removed the original Exchange account from Outlook, you can
run Outlook in Offline mode and have access to the contents of the OST. You
can then create a PST and copy that data to the PST.

You do not have to create a new OST, since the new Exchange account will
create one for you. You can copy the data in the PST to your mailbox.

If you have removed the account, the only way to recover it is by using
system restore. Go back before you removed the acct and work offline, export
the ost to a pst then connect to exchange.

If the system restore doesn't go back far enough, you'll need to fork over a
few bucks to convert the ost.
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.asp has some tools which will
recover the data if the profile is not available.




** Please include your Outlook version, Account type, and Windows Version
when requesting assistance **

some of the tools there will recover data from ost files - kernel tool has
an ost version, pst walker does ost.

Hi All,

Thaks for all the help. I verified with the admin team and they informed me
that the account was deleted and re-created (part of the processes :( )

I will need to get the third-party solution in that case.

Thanks again,

JayJP

You can import data from OST files but the data so imported will be saved in PST file format. owing to this, you will be able to access the data with MS Outlook. Use Kernel for OST to PST conversion tool to perform OST to PST conversion easily and accurately. This tool will help you extract data from an orphan OST file.

Wanted to import your OST files to Outlook, please be informed that directly there are no possibilities to import OST files into Outlook account. As an alternative, users can choose methods like converting their OST file to a PST file. On the other hand, converting the file by hand is heavier and takes more time.
Users can thus search for substitute alternatives, such as the ToolsBaer OST to PST Conversion Tool. One of the most dependable solutions available, it will guarantee job completion without compromising the OST files' folder structure.
Multiple OST files can be added by users, and they can also check to see a preview of the contents therein. Users can benefit from this feature by using it to confirm the data. Users can use its data filter criteria to further filter out the non-required data.
Users can also use the software's free demo version to get a feel for it. Users can also process the first fifty entries from each OST file folder.

Hiii,

You want to import OST files. Users can choose two different ways to import OST files into their PC. First, I called the manual way to import OST files into your computer.

Following the steps of a manual way to import OST files
  • Open Microsoft Outlook on your PC.
  • To select the "File" tab from the top left corner of the Outlook window,.
  • From the File menu, pick "Open and Export," followed by "Import/Export."
  • In the Import and Export software, pick "Import from another program or file" and then click "Next."
  • Select "Outlook Data File (.pst)" as the file type to import, then click "Next."
  • Click the "Browse" option to find the OST file you wish to import. By default, OST files are saved at the following location:
For Windows 7 or earlier: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
For Windows 8 or later: C:\Users\Documents\ Outlook Files
Choose the OST file that you wish to import and click "Open."
  • In the Import Outlook Data File box, you can choose whether to import the full OST file or just certain folders. Make your decision, and then click "Next."
  • Select the folder where you wish to import the data. You can choose an existing folder or create a new one. When you are finished, click the "Finish" button.
  • If the OST file you're importing is password-protected, enter the password in the box and click "OK" to begin the import process.
  • Outlook will begin importing data from the OST file into your inbox. The amount of time it takes to import an OST file is determined by its size.
  • Once the import procedure is finished, you may access the imported data in Outlook by going to the desired folder.
Follow these instructions to manually import OST files into Microsoft Outlook. This method is very long and time consuming process.

The 2 Method is a technical and professional tool called TrustVare OST Converter Tool. This application makes it easy to import and export OST files on your PC.
