Introduction

Do you have an old OST file that you’d like to convert to the more common PST format? The good news is that the operation is not only extremely smooth, but also extremely simple to complete. We’ll explain how and why in a moment, so keep reading the following sections.

If you’ve ever used Outlook, you’re probably familiar with OST. It is an Outlook data file format used to store an offline copy of mail objects such as emails, attachments, tasks, calendar items, contacts and so on. It allows you to access your mail items even when the system is down and reduces the amount of traffic on the main network server. Nevertheless, if you have a backup OST file, you cannot import it directly into Outlook. To gain access to your mailboxes and mail items, you must first convert the OST file to a PST file that can be imported into Outlook. This is due to the fact that Outlook is linked to an Exchange or IMAP account, and when this profile is removed, it becomes an orphan.

Even though you can export mail items from your Outlook profile to PST format using the Import/Export wizard in Outlook, the situation becomes worse if you lose access to your Outlook profile or if the OST file becomes inaccessible. Outlook may also generate errors such as “This is not an Outlook data file,” preventing you from accessing the contents entirely.

In these cases, all you’ll need is a safe and quick OST to PST converter tool such as EdbMails. The freeware software converts orphaned or inaccessible OST files to easily importable Outlook-compatible PST files.

Concerned that your email data might be lost in those old Outlook data files? (.ost). No longer. We provide a thorough and expert review of this software, so keep reading to learn more and leave your worries at the door.

Downloading and installing EdbMails OST converter

Step 1: Navigate to the official website and download the installation exe file. (Virus and ad-free software. As a result, you can download it without concern). When the pop-up window appears, choose a location (preferably on your desktop) and then click Save File. Since it is a lightweight application, you should have no problems with the download process. We tested it with a T1 internet connection, and the software downloaded in less than 2 minutes.

 

Step 2: To begin installing it on your PC, double-click the downloaded Setup.exe file. Select the location to install the software (preferably C:Drive) and proceed with the steps. The installation is also very simple, with no additional bloatware or adware tools, which we found to be very impressive.

 

OST Recovery process

Here’s how to use it after you’ve downloaded and installed it to convert OST files to PST files:

 

Step 1: When you launch the software, you are greeted with a professional and fresh blue-colored interface that offers two options. The first option requires you to enter your email address in order to log in to the application (use this option when you have purchased the license). The second option is to click on the Start Your Free Trial button to enter the application without entering any information. EdbMails does not have a license or an activation key. The license is linked to the email address you used when purchasing the software.

Step 2: We went straight into the software by clicking the Start Your Free Trial button. On the next screen, you’ll see a nice drop-down menu with all of the different recovery and conversion options. We went with the OST option.

 

Step 3: The software prompts you to provide the OST file by browsing to its location. It is highly recommended that you create a backup of the original OST in this step by saving it on your hard drive or another location other than the main location.

Step 4: After you provide the OST file, the software completely recovers the contents (both healthy and corrupted OST files are supported) and displays them in a highly organized tree-view display. For a GB-sized OST file, the recovery process is extremely fast, taking only minutes to complete. The following steps involve the actual conversion procedure.

Step 1: When the recovery is complete, the software will display an interface with all the information about the OST mailboxes, including the sender, recipient, and other details. It is possible to preview them individually and export them to various formats such as HTML, EML and MHT.

 

Step 2 : A checkbox appears next to each folder in the UI, allowing you to choose whether or not to export it. You can, of course, choose to export everything if necessary.

 

Step 3 : Following that decision, you are asked to choose a conversion option. Make sure to select the option Export to Outlook PST at the bottom.

 

Step 4 : When you’re finished, move on to the next screen, where you’ll see the folders you’ve chosen. Start the conversion procedure by choosing a location to save the PST file.

 

Optional: If you want to export the OST file directly to Office 365 or live Exchange, go to the mail interface screen and select Migrate to Live Exchange or Office 365.
