							?Corruption in OST file can occur due to various reasons like, improper system
shutdown, virus attack, and operating system malfunction. In most cases of OST file
corruption, the user encounters an error message, which results into inaccessibility of
the data saved in the file. While the error message explains the main cause of
corruption, it is still not easy for an MS Outlook user to repair that file and access its
data. In such situations, the data saved in the OST file can only be accessed by
converting the file from into a PST (Personal Storage Folder) file. To convert a file
from OST to PST, the user needs to use an advanced third-party conversion software.
