Hi, I need to recover an outlook OST file from some work I did last year. I no longer have that PC but I did make a copy of the outlook OST file. Anyone got some tips on this? I know it can be done, I have even done it a long time ago but since forgotten.

Any tips / tools?

Hi stuartfox,

As far as i know, you have to use third party tools to convert ost to pst file.

And you could refer to this link:

If it doesn't work, I can recommend you some good outlook ost recover tool.

as far as my understanding without third party this is not possible. as OSP files are linked with your profile and if profile is not available then it becomes a security concern.

I agree with Eric and Jatin, it would not be possible for you to recover your OST file without using any third party tool. You regain access to your data by converting your OST to Outlook importable PST
