    OST files are created when the "Use Offline Folders" option is selected in Outlook and are stored on the local hard drive instead of mail server.If you can open OST file in off-line mode, you can then create a PST and simply copy the contents of the OST over to the PST.

    OST file cannot be directly open with MS Outlook. If you want to open it with MS Outlook then you need to use Convert OST to PST software. The convert OST to PST software converts the OST file into PST file and then you can open it with Outlook.

    i think there is an error in outlook express, so that your file is not open correctly. you can go through a software.

    If you are the ost owner, that is you have an exchange account connecting with the exchange server. U can open it directly.

    If you have the PST file, you can import it whatever.

    If none of above, recommend u to use Advanced Exchange Recovery, it converts OST to PST and deal with corrupted OST, PST files.

    Good luck

    +1 splitarticle, Jim Chou
    You need special software. Or you can use OST to PST service
    As I know in some cases using this service more cheep than buying software.
    Anyway you need to analyze both.

    You can open ost in outlook by simply importing it to the Outlook usng Import/Export option in menu bar of Outlook. and if you want to open an inaccessible ost file, in such case you have to convert ost to pst file and then import the resulting pst fiel in Outlook

    I solved the problem of opening .OST file with .ost viewer/reader. You could download it. You don't need Outlook to use the application.
