Common Workflow Problems
| Problem | Check | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| OST cannot be selected | File access, path, permissions and whether another process is locking the file | Copy it to a local working folder and retry with appropriate access. |
| Expected folders are missing | Whether they were cached locally and visible in preview | Check the live mailbox or another source; uncached data cannot be reconstructed from the OST. |
| PST export cannot start | Supported Outlook configuration, free disk space and destination permissions | Correct the prerequisite and repeat a small test export. |
| Some items are skipped | Export log and source-file condition | Preserve the log and verify whether those items are readable in preview. |
