How to Import OST File into Outlook Files

To manually import OST files into Outlook, you first need to convert it to PST format because Outlook doesn’t directly support importing OST files. Here’s the process: Open Outlook, navigate to the “File” menu, select “Import/Export,” choose “Export to a File,” and select PST as the format. After exporting the data from your OST, you can import the PST file into Outlook. The manual process is time-consuming, and issues like corrupted files or unsupported OST versions can cause errors. Additionally, without Outlook, you can't access the OST data, limiting recovery options.
