Hi Mugesi

What you do is take a look at the service I provide at rescuemymailbox.blogspot.com or e-mail me at mark.kinNONOSPAMslow@talk21.com (remove NONOSPAM).

I can take your ost file and convert to a pst.

How can i convert a .ost file from outlook 2000 & 2003 to a .pst file?

I would creat an empty PST, open both the OST and PST in Outlook, an drag/drop the contents from one to the other.

open in ost and export it to pst...then connect to the exported ost which would be in pst format.

The easies way to open your .ost file on outlook is to export your mail account to a .pst file. You can open the file on other outlook applications.

I tried a lot to recover my ost files. But i really fedup for one day. After all when i am searching internet for a solution i got this link to your web page. I succeeded in the opertion. I am thanking this site for the kind information.
Thanks a lot.

I just recovered an Outlook 2003 .ost by converting it to .pst using the stellar phoenix demo program which was linked to above. Definitely helped me dodge an IT bullet.
