Import OST File to Outlook

There can be various situations when you need to perform OST to PST conversion in order to access emails, contacts, etc. stored in OST file. Let us consider a situation to understand when you may need to convert OST to PST. You joined a company on contractual basis for a year. When you joined the company, you are provided a MS Outlook account, which you also used to work in offline mode when you are not connected to Exchange Server. Therefore, you have OST at your computer system.

After a year, your contract is renewed but with a gap of one month in between. When you rejoin the company, you find that your mailbox from Exchange Server is deleted and you find that your inbox is empty but the old OST file is available. Now you need a way to import OST file to Outlook, so that you can have access to your old emails, contacts, notes, etc.

As your mailbox from Exchange Server is deleted, you do not need to worry because you still have chance to recover emails, notes, contacts, etc. from old OST file. If you have old profile available, then you can login from that profile in offline mode and then get access to the OST file. However, in case the old profile is deleted, you can try system restore point to recover data from OST file.
When you restore your computer to an earlier point (the point on which you used Outlook for the last time), then Outlook will achieve its old settings that will allow you to access the OST file in offline mode. Following steps help you in restoring your computer to the restore point when you last used Outlook on it:

Import OST File to Outlook

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. The "System Restore" dialog box appears.
2. Select the "Restore my computer to an earlier time" option and then click the Next button.
3. The wizard displays many restore points. Check if a restore point indicates the date on which you used Outlook for last time.
4. If you find the date, select it, and click the Next button and let the wizard do its work.
5. The process may take some time. After the system has been restored to the selected restore point, start Outlook, and go in offline mode to work with old outlook file.

However, in case, you do not see any valid restore point then the only way to recover emails from old OST file is performing OST to PST conversion. Until you do not convert OST to PST, you will not be able to import OST file to Outlook. You can successfully convert OST to PST using Kernel for OST.

Kernel for OST is a third party OST to PST conversion tool, which helps you successfully recover emails stored in an orphaned OST file by converting it to PST file. Once the OST file is successfully converted into PST file, you can open it with Outlook by clicking File > Open > Outlook Data File. While converting OST to PST, the software keeps emails structure, formatting, and properties intact; therefore, you do not need to modify recovered emails before reuse. Kernel for OST software supports MS Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2000, Outlook 98, and Outlook 97. Moreover, the software can be installed on any version of Windows operating system to recover data from OST.
