You can open OST data in Outlook by first converting the OST file to PST, then importing or opening the resulting PST in Outlook. An OST is tied to its original Outlook profile, so simply browsing to the file from another Outlook setup may not work.
A practical workflow is:
- Select the required OST file.
- Preview the mailbox data before conversion.
- Export the complete mailbox or only folders such as Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, or Journal.
- Save the resulting PST to a local folder.
- Open or import that PST in Outlook.
If the original Outlook profile is unavailable, converting OST to PST is a practical way to access the mailbox in Outlook. GainTools OST to PST Converter provides OST preview, complete or selective folder export and local PST saving. It supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 and Outlook 2003 through 2016. The free trial converts a few emails from each OST, so you can check the output before purchasing.
Once the PST is created, open it in Outlook and verify the required emails, contacts, calendars, and folders.
