Retrieve Emails from OST File after Exchange Server Crash?

MS Outlook works in co-ordinate with Microsoft Exchange Server. The organizations that are relayed on Microsoft infrastructure implement MS Exchange Server for establishing email communication through Outlook application. Exchange Server stores users mailbox in a database file name called Exchange Database (.edb) file.

If anything goes wrong with Exchange database file such as if database file gets corrupted or Exchange Server gets crashed, then the email communication gets affected until the database file is not repopulated. Damage of the Exchange Server puts a jerk in the life of Outlook users, as they cannot communicate further or cannot access their emails, contacts, notes etc. At this moment, if complete backup of Exchange database is available then problem can be easily fixed without putting much effort. But, the situation can become worse if the backup is not available or the backup file is also damaged.

The wonderful feature of Microsoft Exchange Server is it creates a backup copy of user’s mailbox on their computer that is synchronized with Outlook application. The backup copy of user’s mailboxes is created in the form of OST file on user’s computer, which contains every email, notes, contacts, drafts etc. By using the OST file stored on user’s computer, it is possible to recover emails and other related items. The only issue with OST file is it cannot be directly accessed with Outlook as the Outlook only supports PST file not OST file.
