Why we need to convert OST to PST?

[sumit]

There are several scenarios where you might need to convert an OST file to a PST file. These include situations where the OST file has become inaccessible due to a sudden power outage, the Exchange server has crashed, the OST file is orphaned due to changes in the Outlook profile, or when you want to open another OST file within the same Outlook instance.



Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward way to use an OST file directly with any version of MS Outlook. To achieve this conversion, you'll need to use third-party software. I recommend downloading and installing Goldytools' Best OST to PST Converter software.

We often need to change OST to PST when working with Outlook files. The reason behind this is that OST files are stored locally on your system and linked with the Exchange server. If the server crashes or gets corrupted, or in case you lose access to your email account, then the OST file cannot be accessed. But another reason to convert OST to PST is that if you want to shift your Outlook data to another system or back up your emails for safety then it would be easier to transfer and access your emails on another device without any dependency on the server.



OST to PST conversion is performed both manually and automatically. The manual method involves the Import/Export feature in Outlook as well as archiving the emails to PST, which might be a longer process involving many technical complexities, especially for non-technical users. Automated OST to PST Conversion tools like MigrateEmails OST to PST Converter ease up the whole process. These conversion tools can convert OST to PST with no hassle so that you can fetch your data safely and access them even if you have basic computer knowledge. Automated solutions are also pretty reliable, so you can save both time and effort.
