Stellar Converter for OST: A powerful tool to convert OST into PST

Imagine living in a world where losing an internet connection makes all your emails inaccessible and puts a full stop to your productivity. Luckily, most Outlook users do not go through such misery due to something called OST.

OSTs (Offline Storage Tables) store emails and related data locally on your computer and help you access your mailbox even when you’re offline. These are especially useful for those who travel and work at the same time.

PSTs (Personal Storage Tables) on the other hand serve a similar purpose but with some differences and other use cases.

Microsoft Outlook uses two major messaging protocols; IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP (Point of Presence). While POP uses the PST data format, IMAP accounts use the OST format.

Stellar Converter for OST

There are cases where a person might want to convert their Outlook OST files to PST. For instance, if a user’s mailbox is deleted from the Exchange without a backup, the only way to recover it is through the OST file.

This is where Stellar Converter for OST comes into play. It is an incredibly powerful tool for those looking to convert (singular or multiple) OST files to PST within a few clicks.

Not just conversion, its Stellar Toolkit for Outlook allows users to manage, recover, split or merge data files without any hassle.

During our testing, we converted OST files that were pretty large in size but the software barely dropped performance. Everything was converted with 100% precision and no data loss was noticed.

The fact that Stellar Converter for OST offers the ability to preview offline Outlook data files already makes it better than everything else in the market.

If for some unfortunate reason, the OST files are encrypted, orphaned, or corrupted, you can rely on the tool to do its job well and give you the desired results.

Once converted, you can effortlessly export these files to Office 365, MS Outlook, and live Exchange.

And don’t worry, it doesn’t discriminate between different versions of Outlook. Stellar Converter for OST supports Outlook 2021, 2019, 2016, and earlier versions.
