This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I looked at these three products which seemed to be the leaders about a year ago, but as I recall the OST I was trying to convert was just too large for any of these (or at least the trials) to deal with in a useful amount of time. But it was a big file, over 2GB as I recall. You might want to take a look at these if your needs are not as large. I couldn't find anything useful in the freeware space...

Hi,Kim
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 2 pst conversion.
You can also perform the conversion by exporting the contents of OST file to PST file by following the instructions at:
http://office.microsoft.co m/en-001/o utlook-hel p/export-o utlook-ite ms-to-an-o utlook-dat a-file-pst -HA1025341 10.aspx
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. Below is the article about doing that:

Third, you can try a free OST to PST converter via Outlook VBA . Below is the article about doing that:
