OST (offline storage table) files are created by MS Outlook client manager to help users work on their mailboxes during unavailability of their Exchange server. All the offline work carried out during a server downtime is stored in OST files, which later get synchronized with the Exchange server database. Without data synchronization with the server, contents of OST files cannot be accessed, not even through MS Outlook email client. To open OST files in situations where synchronization is not possible, users are required to convert them to PST format. Conversion from OST to PST file format makes the OST file contents accessible from MS Outlook or other similar email client.
The need to open OST file arises when the Exchange server crashes, network permanently fails, Exchange database gets severely corrupt, user account on the server gets deleted or the OST file itself gets corrupted. To open OST files, Microsoft offers a free utility called ScanOST.exe, but this tool has its own set of limitations and is not useful for every situation. RecoveryFix for OST is however an excellent application that is capable of opening OST files by converting them to PST format. With the help of this utility, users can easily open OST files which have become corrupt or orphaned and view their content from Outlook email client.
OST files that are password protected and encrypted can also be opened by using this software. During the conversion from OST to PST, this tool converts all the emails and other mailbox items that were last updated with their data integrity maintained. Emails in RTF, Plain Text and HTML format are accurately converted along with their attachment files. Users are given the choice of saving the converted files as .PST, .EML, .MSG or .DBX file format. RecoveryFix for OST software ensures that email communication is not hampered even if there are problems at the server end.
