The easiest way to do this is to connect Outlook to the OST files if it isn't already, you can do this under "Account Settings" > "Data Files".  From there you can go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export and then use that to export the data file to a PST.

Hi,ChristianJunge

There are several methods to convert OST file to PST file.

First, Microsoft does not provide an official tool to do the conversion. However, if you can access the contents of the OST file in your Outlook, then you can perform the conversion manually, as follows:


1. Start Outlook. Make sure you can access all the contents in the OST file to be converted.
2. Create a new PST file.
3. Go to the OST file, select and copy all the contents to be converted with your mouse.
4. Go back to the new PST file, then paste all the contents into the PST file


That will do the OST to PST conversion.


Second, if you can access the Exchange server containing the account data for the OST file, then you can use Export-Mailbox command to export the data into a PST file, similar to convert your OST file into a PST file.


Third, you can try to convert OST to PST via Outlook VBA .

Hope this will help. Good Luck!
