Outlook OST recovery after mailbox was deleted

[Gian Paolo]

Desperately need some help on this...

An important user (our CEO) had some Outlook OST folders. His mailbox was
inadvertently deleted (only 3-4 days of activity, so it was OK) and we had
to recreate his mailbox under a different name.

Now the challenge is to recover his OST folder (pointing to his old SID).

If I can atleast get a printout of his OST file, he would be happy.

Can someone help, please ?

Once you've connected to the new mailbox, the OST is toast. The
correct procedure would have been to open Outlook offline, export the
contents to a PST and then import the PST into the new server (But I
guess you've probably already realized this).

Now would be the perfect time to test out that backup and restore
procedure maybe?

You say the mailbox was created under a DIFFERENT name -- this is a
Good Thing<tm>.

You should be able to create a profile to have the client work
off-line and use the OST -- provided he never used that OST to connect
to the NEW mailbox.

If you can use the OST off-line you can salvage the mail. If not, the
only way out is to restore the information store to a recovery server
and copy the messages to a PST.

When an OST file gets damaged, corrupted, inaccessible or unusable, user cannot access the Offline data. For making the data usable again, the damaged OST file is repaired and is converted to a new PST file. Lepide Exchange Manager's OST to PST conversion tool is available which can convert inaccessible OST files to PST files.
