or if you are in a real panic you can use ost2pst, it costs 80
dollars last time I checked but it works. Converts ost files to pst files, as
the name suggests ;)

.ost files are tied to the mailbox and not the correct method for
transferring mailbox contents. The mailbox should have been
exported to a
.pst file.
Some have produced a utility that might be successful:

Subject: Recovering data in .ost file
Help please! Here's the scoop. New CEO who was working with
offline
folders from the exchange server from his previous company. We
needed to
get the data onto our Exchange server. First, copied .ost file
into
another directory to keep a copy. Second, set up personal folders,
third
copied data from offline folders to personal folders. Got errors
on some
of the subfolders for tasks. Fourth, big mistake. Instead of
creating
another profile, I changed his current profile to point to our
exchange
server. We got all his calendar, contacts, notes, and synched some
of
his
tasks from his palm to laptop. But subfolder tasks don't synch to
palm.
So
now he needs to get some of those subfolder tasks that are part of
the
.ost file. His mailbox on his old company is gone, so we can't
reconnect
with that. Of course, since the new server wasn't the original
mailbox,
I
can't see those offline folders. Does anyone have any idea
how I can
get
to the data in that offline file? Not a good impression to
make to the
new CEO!!!
Thanks so much!
