Why Do You Need to Convert OST into PST?
OST is an offline Outlook data file format that saves your synchronized online mailbox data on your local storage so that you can access it even without an active internet connection. Outlook, when configured with Outlook.com, IMAP Server, and Microsoft Exchange accounts, stores the data in OST format.
However, you cannot import data from an OST file into another Outlook profile or account. Also, you cannot access the OST file data, if it becomes inaccessible or orphaned. To do this, you must convert the OST file into PST format. PST format is also an Outlook data file format, used by POP/POP3 accounts. You can easily import PST files into another Outlook profile or account.
