Hello All,

I need to convert about 16 OST files to PST. So far I have tried the following troubleshooting steps and since they failed, but would like to avvoid this. Does anyone have any ideas?

1. Backup ost file(s)
2. Rename outlook.ost to outlook.pst
3. Use scanpst.exe from Outlook 2002 (in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033) to repair outlook.pst
(You can always copy scanpst.exe from an alternative installation, include MAPI32.DLL and GAPI32.DLL)
4. Rename outlook.pst back to outlook.ost
5. Run OST2PST which will then convert the file successfully to outlook.pst
6. Outlook can then open the outlook.pst file

Outlook 2003 has been out of support for several years, and it may not be the most secure or reliable option for handling email data. It's highly recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Outlook if possible. If upgrading isn't an option, proceed with caution and ensure you have a backup of your data.

Firstly locate your OST file from C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\, to create PST file from OST use MailsGen OST Converter to have a simple and secure process. Once the export is complete, you can access the PST file from within Outlook. Refer: https://www.mailsgen.com/products/ost-converter.php
