Introduction
Some consider Microsoft to be nothing more than an email client. If you’re a regular Outlook user, you’re already aware that it’s much more. When you’ve mastered Outlook, you’ll be able to reap its benefits and use it for day-to-day communications.
If you continue to use Outlook to its full extent, which only a few people do, backing up and storing your documents will become increasingly important. To some extent, you can rely on your Exchange server, but at some point in the future, you’ll want to manage all of your emails with effective tools that can save the day. EdbMails OST to PST software is an excellent tool for assisting you in such situations.
What is the use of EdbMails OST to PST tool
If you’re no longer an Outlook aficionado, you might be unfamiliar with an OST file. In a nutshell, this is a single document on your computer’s hard drive that contains all of the records and data from your Exchange server. The file extension is an Offline Storage Table or commonly referred to as .ost.
This file contains data other than just your emails and messages. An OST stores your calendar data, tasks, journals, contacts, notes, and all other Outlook records. As a result, it’s quite essential.
You won’t be able to open an OST file in any other email program since it’s not portable. Moreover it is tied to a fixed Exchange or IMAP email account and stored locally on the user’s PC. In order to move the OST file to a different computer, you must convert it to a different format. The most common format into which you might want to convert your OST is PST, or Personal Storage Table. EdbMails goes above and beyond by not only assisting you in converting to PST, but also by providing a plethora of options to make the conversion process successful and smooth.
Features and Pricing
File Format and Compatibility
EdbMails OST converter can export to a number of other formats in addition to the quite popular PST format. Email formats like HTML, EML, and MHT are examples of other file formats that EdbMails supports, making it very versatile. Compatibility is another important consideration. Many software tools are incompatible with the most recent version of Windows or Outlook, and EdbMails stands out from the crowd. It supports all Outlook, Windows, and Exchange versions, so you won’t have to scratch your head too much about compatibility.
In most cases, you’ll be converting files and storing them in your local environment or hard-disk, but this isn’t always the case. For example, if you’re using the software in a typical office setting, you can save a modified PST file to a network drive.
Recovery and Conversion of Mail Items
EdbMails supports exporting emails, attachments, contacts, journals, calendars, notes, deleted mail items, to PST format. The tool can recover and convert encrypted OST files to PST files without needing any passwords or encryption key for the purpose.
Another useful feature is the ability to sort mail items in ascending or descending order based on the Sent Date and Time, Attachment Size, and so on. This is very useful if you want to see older emails before the most recent ones. For example, as shown in the image below, by clicking on this tab, you can sort your emails by subject. All mails beginning with the letter A are displayed first, followed by the rest.
When you first launch the program, you’ll notice that it looks very similar to Microsoft Outlook. This not only makes sense, but it also has the added benefit of allowing you to recall what you’re doing by looking at the app. Apart from the functionality, the elegant addition of reflecting Outlook is a welcome addition for new users who are unsure how to use the tool.

How to use EdbMails OST to PST converter?
Browsing and locating the OST file
Locating your OST file is the first step in using the software. After you have selected the OST file from the location (Usually located under the AppData folder in Outlook), EdbMails will handle the rest. Normally, it is advised to take a backup of the OST file before you start with the conversion process.
Recovery and preview
After the software performs its recovery, you can read your email messages and other data using the built-in preview feature. The software’s most outstanding feature is that it can recover all types of OST files (healthy, encrypted, or unavailable data) and convert PST files totally offline in your local environment.
Conversion and Exporting
You can choose how you wish to export your data before converting it. What you intend to do with it will depend on your requirements. Because Outlook can readily import PST, you’ll almost probably need to use this format to back up your emails. The PST format can also be used to import Outlook data into other email applications or clients. This format can be used to move data from Exchange to any other server. However, there are other options, such as directly migrating to Office 365 or using a live Exchange server, that allow you to avoid using the PST file format if you prefer.
Other formats
In contrast, the other formats are specialized examples. To open individual emails quickly in your browser or text editor, you could use the HTML, EML, and MHT formats. If you need to open Exchange data or print a report or confidential information, HTML may be the best option since it can be opened with any browser software.
