The aim of drafting this article is to offer you solutions to import OST files into MS Outlook. We have shared manual as well as automated ways for executing this task in the right manner. So, let us jump into this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all are familiar that Outlook creates two different database files. OST file is a synchronized copy of Outlook mailbox and is generated while you set up your account by using IMAP or Exchange Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OST files are important as they permit accessing Outlook data in Exchange cached or offline mode. This way data of OST files can be read without an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no doubt in it that OST files are important for users. However, there is no direct solution to open or import OST files in Microsoft Outlook. Also, there are many reasons due to why users need to add OST files in Outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

Here are the instructions for it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Locate_the_OST_file_on_your_system\"><\/span>Locate the OST file on your system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the Outlook window, go to the <strong>File<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click twice on <strong>Account Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Data Files<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>Choose your OST file<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>Hit open file location<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will see a newly opened window having the <strong>default location<\/strong> of your OST file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With these steps, you can find OST files on your system.

There are many ways to import OST files to Outlook but no way are there to import an orphaned\/inaccessible OST file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can only import OST file data into Outlook when you fulfill the below conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When the OST file is linked to the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the Outlook profile is active and working.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Available_Methods_to_Add_OST_Files_to_Outlook\"><\/span>Available Methods to Add OST Files to Outlook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how to locate the OST file on your system.
