Hi Dexter, nnYou cannot directly open OST files in Outlook, to open Offline OST files you need to convert OST to PST file format and then you can import that PST in Outlook. nnThanks

nHello, nIf you have the MS Outlook profile that created Offline Storage Table file, then just recreate a new file. It will be synchronized with the MS Exchange Server automatically and the data will be downloaded back to the OST from the Server.

Sorry Lincoln, I am not a technical person. Can you just explain the step by step procedure or Is there any easy solution available?

Hi, nnThere is no direct manual method and inbuilt utility to fix this issue. So, you have to go for an automated tool. nnThanks

Hello, nnI know about one third-party software that is a third-party tool OST Recovery, which can fix the issues related with Outlook OST file efficiently. So, you can try this utility to recover OST file Outlook 2016. nnThanks & Regards

Thanks Barry Allen, I have tried the tool you suggested, it fix my problem very quickly. Once again thank you so much for your help.
