Manually converting an OST file to PST using Outlook's Import/Export feature can work, but it has limitations—it only functions if you have access to the original Outlook profile tied to the OST file. For cases where the OST file is orphaned or inaccessible, this manual method isn't sufficient since it relies on active Outlook connectivity.
An OST to PST File Converter tool offers an efficient solution by allowing you to convert OST files to PST without needing access to the original Outlook profile. These tools typically retain the complete email format, attachments, and folder structure, providing a reliable way to transfer your data to PST format with ease.
