OST (Offline Storage Table) files are used in MS Outlook and Exchange server to store the mailbox data and use them in offline mode. These files often work as backup copies or replicas of the MS Exchange server mailbox. When the connection with the Exchange server is disrupted or lost, Outlook users can work with the OST files in the offline mode. Once the server connection is reestablished, the OST files get synchronized with the Exchange server and the changes made in the OST files are updated in the user’s mailbox. However, a case may arise when the Exchange server is down or there is a change in domain. Such a situation may lead to failure in synchronization of the OST files with the Exchange server and users are unable to access their mailboxes. The solution to this problem is to import OST files to MS Outlook simply by converting them into PST files.

Conversion of OST files to PST files is also useful when the data present in the OST files get accidently deleted or corrupt due to some physical or logical reason. In addition to that, problems arising from database corruption, user account deletion, hardware crash ...
... or virus attacks can also be handled by importing OST files to MS Outlook by converting them into PST format.
