OST and PST files may be Outlook file but converting them still proves to be a monumental task. Even higher end users find it laborious and cannot avoid the pitfalls, like drop in data quality.
Here is a fix.
Let us first get a few things out of the way:
OST is an Outlook data file that you cannot import manually. It works an integral file responsible for data syncing and offline access among other things. PST, personal storage table, is literally a “personal” file for importing/exportig, archiving, backing up, and more. Even though one is a variant of other, the difference is a large enough to weigh down the process and makes things harder.
Also, the fact that modern day emails have more complex types of information than it was decades before. Any medium or means of conversion needs more factors to account for than ever before.
The result: Convert OST to PST Outlook 2019 (or even other versions) is chock-full of challenges.

And speaking of drop in data quality after conversion, this often means the items are not processed and converted, or are not in their original structure. This loss of data is called integrity loss.
Components like headers, images, large attachments, and Unicode characters are more likely to take a hit. Any single deficit or misplaced content could be destructive beyond measures.
Imagine converting OST to PST files and finding that the personal and precious pictures that your overseas friend sent you are not gone. It may be fine if you had original OST and you could try the conversion again. But how many emails are you going to open one by one to look for such damages?
So, what is the fix?
Let us shift the conversation from how difficult and taxing this task could be to how it can be a child’s play. And without the devastating errors.
USL Software called it “OST Extractor Pro.” The tool is the opposite of essentially all other subpar solutions found today.

- It makes everything simpler for an untrained user with the help of smart UI design that minimizes the complexity.
- Each uniquely challenging part of your data is handled by a separate mechanism, where other tools work under a single and static network of algorithms.

- Native and baseline support for Unicode text
