This article lists the top 5 trialware OST to PST Converter Tools. These tools save a lot of time for users when they want to convert OST to PST after their Exchange server is no longer available or other critical issues with Exchange server or import-export function also failed to fix the issue.
The best way to cope up with the unexpected situation is to prepare properly. With one of the following cases on hand, you can choose the best solution to save your ost file to a pst format. So pick the case & go for the solution!!

First Case: Your Exchange server is no longer available. Does the Exchange Server go into non-functioning or dismounting stage? Or you just moved your company, and you only have the copy of the .ost file. However, you just realised that unless you have a connection to the Exchange Server, Outlook does not let you open this OST file. If this is the case, then there is no supported method of accessing the OST file. These five OST to PST tools could help you get back your OST file data into PST Format safely and securely.

Second Case: If you have details of the user account that was using the desired OST file & that account still exists within the domain. In this case, you can easily access the ost file to the pst format. For this, you could log in as that user, and then make a COPY of the OST in the path noted in the Data Files path, then make sure you disconnect from ALL the networks, and then open Outlook.  From there you can drag and drop to a PST. This method is easy but for this the Exchange Server should be in working condition & the user account must be the ORIGINAL one, not a re-created version.

The other substitute is to back up your data on a regular basis.

This post has covered a list of the best trialware OST to PST converter software packages, considering factors such as: whether or not your Exchange Server is working; you don’t have access to your Outlook profile; and Corrupt OST files (you will be able to open OST file from different Outlook versions). We picked five of the best trialware OST to PST tools in the business. Just pick the one that most closely matches your requirements and your budget.  

Note: All of the following software tools are free to try, however, they put a fairly low limit (about 25) on how many emails can be converted until the software is bought and unlocked.

Someone has already posted same links twice in their comments and it’s SPAM. I am totally agree with VIP Sharma that above listed applications are not completely free but DEMOWARE. So there are many such DEMOWARE available to perform OST to PST conversion and MailsDaddy for OST to PST is one of them which I tested personally and found it beneficial for the users. Detailed information is available here: http://www.mailsdaddy.com/ost-to-pst-converter/

Nice article.

If it's convinced me of nothing else, it's convinced me to "never" use the product(s) constantly being spammed in the comments section here.

If a product is *that desperate* for exposure, then for sure it has to be useless lol :)
