Yes, you can export OST files to PST format and retain all your mailbox details. There are two main methods for converting .ost files to .pst—manual conversion using Microsoft Outlook or automated conversion using a professional tool like GoldyTools OST to PST Converter.
Manual Method to Convert OST to PST Using Outlook
Follow these steps:
  1. Open Microsoft Outlook and make sure the OST file is accessible (connected to Exchange).
  2. Navigate to: File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
  3. Select Export to a File and click Next.
  4. Choose Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
  5. Select the mailbox folders you want to export (you can include subfolders).
  6. Choose a location to save the new PST file and click Finish.
  7. Optionally, add a password to protect the PST file or leave it blank and click OK.
The export process will begin. Once completed, your OST data will be saved in PST format.
  • Requires technical expertise
  • Time-consuming for large files or multiple mailboxes
  • Doesn’t work with corrupted, orphaned, or disconnected OST files
If you want a faster, more secure, and user-friendly solution, consider using GoldyTools OST to PST Converter. This software offers a streamlined approach for converting OST files—regardless of their condition—without needing Outlook or an Exchange connection.
  1. Bulk File Conversion Made Easy
    Convert large batches of OST files to PST in one go—no data loss, no interruptions.
  2. Advanced Filter Options
    Built-in filters let you search, sort, and export specific emails by date range, subject, sender, and more—a feature I couldn’t find elsewhere.
  3. Supports Multiple Export Formats
    In addition to PST, export OST files to EML, MSG, HTML, PDF, RTF, and other formats.
  4. No Technical Skills Required
    The intuitive interface makes it easy for both beginners and professionals to complete the conversion quickly.
  5. Free Demo Available
    You can test the tool risk-free with the demo version, which lets you export up to 20 items per folder

While the manual method works under limited conditions, it’s not ideal for everyone. If you need a faster, more flexible, and error-free solution, I strongly recommend giving GoldyTools OST to PST Converter a try.
