outlook Data import to new PC

Copper Contributor

HI,

 

my pc crashed. i only could make a robocopy from my harddisk. Now i want to install a brandnew Windows with outlook . After that i will import my old mails and privat folders. Therefor i have a *.ost file. Because in that file all my private folders.

But i cant find a way to import the ost file.

 

Any ideas?

You cannot import OST format file to Outlook directly but configure Outlook to connect to your harddisk and create a new OST file, or convert OST to the PST format by using some tools

 

 

Good answer, I had same issue a while ago converting was the only option I had found.

Hi, my solution is to buy the software and convert the .ost 2 .pst.

 

When i import the new .pst file i still have 2 same accounts. one with my offical mails and die second with my private <folders.

I want 2 mirgarte both, didnt work.
