An OST (Outlook offline folder) is the local storage file of MS Outlook that makes it possible for the user to work offline when configured to Exchange Server. Once the application sets up a secure connection with Exchange Server, the OST file synchronizes the changes that it finds with the corresponding mailbox. The OST is unusable and inaccessible without synchronization being properly done with mailbox, after which the file converts into application-readable PST.
At times, the instances like, deletion of user mailbox, changes in Exchange profile, and database crash result into an orphaned OST. If the OST fails to synchronize with the Exchange Server or gets corrupt, all the mails, journals, notes, contacts etc. become inaccessible. In such cases, you need to convert the unusable OST to usable PST.
