9. If you remember your Exchange credentials for the file, you should be able to simply open it with Outlook (even without the Exchange server being available - after all, that is what the OST is for), create a new PST file, and copy whatever you want into it. Of course, this is assuming that you already have a copy of Outlook. You may want to create a new profile for the process so it has no chance of interfering with any other existing accounts if you are paranoid.

   • Bruce,

     That would have been the easiest way, unfortunately my friend for whom I am doing this, cannot remember his Exchange credentials.

Microsoft Outlook offline files (OST) are the replica of Exchange Server mailbox folders on local machines. In the offline (cached Exchange) mode, Outlook saves all the Exchange mailbox data locally in the OST file. The OST file thus contains all your mail items in an offline mode on your hard drive. This way it provides an efficient medium of accessing the Exchange Server mailbox folders in the event of server crashes or poor Internet connection.

Although the OST file can’t be affected by disturbances in the Exchange Server, there are situations that make the mail items inaccessible and can affect your routine business operations. Should this happen, you will want to convert the contents of the OST file into a different Outlook compatible format like PST. Converting the OST file to PST can also come in handy when you want to migrate data from one machine to another since the .ost file can only be opened by the profile that created it.
