Converting an OST (Offline Storage Table) file to a PST (Personal Storage Table) file manually involves a few steps. Please note that this process requires technical knowledge and should be done with caution, as any mistakes can result in data loss. It is always recommended to backup your OST file before attempting any manual conversion.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to convert OST to PST manually:

Step 1: Open Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode
Make sure you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer and open it in Cached Exchange Mode. Cached Exchange Mode allows you to access your OST file, which is an offline copy of your mailbox data.

Step 2: Create a New PST File
In Outlook, go to the File tab and click on "Options". In the Options window, select "Advanced" and click on "Export". Choose "Export to a file" and click on "Next". Select "Outlook Data File (.pst)" and click on "Next". Choose the folder or mailbox you want to export from (usually your OST file), select a location to save the PST file, and click on "Finish". Set a password for the PST file if desired, and click on "OK".

Step 3: Import PST File
In Outlook, go to the File tab and click on "Options". In the Options window, select "Advanced" and click on "Import". Choose "Import from another program or file" and click on "Next". Choose "Outlook Data File (.pst)" and click on "Next". Browse and select the PST file you created in Step 2, choose the folder or mailbox to import the data into, and click on "Finish".

Step 4: Move Data to the New PST File
Once the PST file is imported, you can manually move the data from the OST file to the newly created PST file. You can drag and drop folders from the OST file to the PST file in Outlook. You can also use the "Move" or "Copy" options under the "File" tab to move or copy data between folders.

Step 5: Verify Data in PST File
After moving all the data from the OST file to the PST file, verify that all the data has been successfully transferred. Make sure to check all folders, including inbox, sent items, calendar, contacts, etc., to ensure that nothing is missing.
