Converting an .ost to .pst?

[SpatiallyAware]

Ok, I've done this with ost2pst back in the old days but this is for exchange/outlook 2007.

Thoughts/tips?

Thanks!

Recovery Toolbox for Outlook is good...

The maker of OSTTOPST says it supports Outlook 2007. But, yeah, converters for 2007 are scarce.

http://osttopst.net

"Our software successfully and performs OST to PST conversion with recovery of .OST file data from the corrupt, damaged, inaccessible offline storage files. It supports ost recovery and ost to pst conversion from the user mailboxes created with MS Exchange Server 5.0, 5.5, 2000, 2003 and 2007. The converted and recovered mailbox items are then saved to a new .PST, .EML and MSG files. The new created PST file preserves the original folder structure of the bad .ost file, making it easy for the administrator or user to work with."

Recovery Toolbox for Outlook doesn't seem to support 2007, unless they just haven't updated their web site.

Ah not the same free ost2pst. Most of these software packages are $300+...

Just an update - I was unable to find a free (or less than $200) tool to convert an Exch 07 .ost to a .pst. The shareware versions prove it's possible, just nothing that's free or cheap.

I ended up restoring a backup to get the user's mail

Can I ask what software you tried?
