OST file format is used by Microsoft Outlook mailing software. The file can contain data such as email messages, tasks, calendar data or contacts. OST files are used as offline mailbox files if applications is not connected to Micr o soft Exchange server.
Files with the MSG extension are used by the Microsoft Outlook email messages program. This program, by creating an MSG file, stores in it all the most important information regarding an email message , including subject, content, sender and receiver data, date, and also hyperlinks and attachments.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the OST file after converting to MSG may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from OST to MSG to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting OST to MSG does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in OST format, properly converted to a MSG file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file OST the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of OST file to other than MSG. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your OST file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MSG on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the OST file in its original format (without conversion to MSG file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
