Convert OST to PST for multiple profiles?

[Monte Kalisch]

I am using Outlook 98 (although am excited about 2k) at home with IMO.

At work, using an Exchange server, we use corporate mode.

Here's the basic problem: I understand that because of MAPI limitations that I
cannot get the "Send Using" button with corporate mode (major! gripe but we'll
forget that for now). I've seen suggestions where people say to move the
delivery transportation method prior to sending mail; however, this does not
always work because the Exchange Server sometimes takes priority regardless
(and delivers all SMTP-based mail). I saw a few MVPs in Deja News confirm
this.

So, I guess I have to use separate profiles; fine, but I want to share my
contacts and address book (another gripe--why are these different; it's
terribly confusing) between these profiles. When I try to set up a new
profile, it asks me for my existing PST and PAB files. I could find the
existing PAB file but--ta da--there was no PST file. Thus, the new "profile"
had none of the contacts as the previous one (even though I had selected the
same PAB file..hmm...).

Apparently, I have this file called OST which has something to do with my
offline folders, blah blah. I don't care. =)

What I want to do is fairly simple; hopefully, someone can help me.
Additonally, I synch my Palm III up with Outlook (contact, calendar, etc.) at
home and at work. That doesn't really matter, except that part of this
procedure is working correctly.

Any help, pointers, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh--and hey Microsoft--get off your duff and provide a solution to this
problem! Macros or somethin'. Sheesh. =)

Have a great day!!

Monte:

I'd like to help you solve your problem, but please take the time to explain
what that problem really is.

Outlook IMO and Outlook C/W not used as an Exchange client save all items in
a Personal Folders File. Outlook C/W used as an Exchange client can save
items in a Personal Folders file or in the Exchange store. An Offline
Folders file is a copy of what's in the Exchange store and is much like a
Personal Folders file.

In Outlook, you can use File, Import and Export to copy items from one place
to another.

Based on this, exactly what is it that you're having difficulty with?

While you're logged on to the Exchange Server, choose File | Import and
Export and you'll be able to export everything from your mailbox to a .pst
file.

The .ost file is your offline folders file, and can be used only with your
Exchange Server mailbox.

Thanks Sue. One follow-up question, though, if I Export my OST file to a
PST file, then which one is used? I really want the PST file to contain
everything (so I can use it between the profiles).

Argh--this conversion between the two modes is very confusing. Thanks in
advance!

If all profiles are still configured and accessible. Then Use Outlook Import/Export Option. But if profiles are not connected, the Exchange server is not available, Orphaned OST files, etc., in these situations you need a third-party solution that supports and maintains data integrity. For the same, I personally used SysTools OST Converter and it worked well for me. Most I liked the lifetime license validity and 15 Export option including popular PST, MBOX, PDF, vCard, CSV.

Hi Monte Kalisch,

As per my technical expertise with MS Outlook, you can complete this process manually. If these conditions are satisfied:

1) Working OST File
2) Active Outlook Profile

If both conditions are matched, use these strings for all Outlook editions:

No manual solution is available if the above requirements are not matched. In that case, go with BitRecover OST to PST Converter. An Expert solution that allows to the conversion of damaged, inaccessible, corrupted OST files to PST format. Also, the toolkit offers recover mode for good.
