Corrupt and damaged OST files recovery
OST files may get corrupted due to various reasons such as ransomware, virus, malware attacks, Exchange server crashes, accidental mailbox deletions, error-prone hard disk issues, oversized files, abnormal Outlook or Exchange server shutdown, inconsistent Exchange database and so forth which may lead to data loss. One of the best options is to use EdbMails to repair and recover the corrupted OST file and convert it to PST. The tool also allows you to save individual messages in the form of EML, MHT and HTML formats. Read More
Recover and export an orphaned OST file
The Exchange offline file (.ost) is a local copy of the Exchange server's mailbox present in your environment. When such a server's mailbox is inaccessible for an extended period of time or cannot be accessed, the OST file is referred to as orphaned. These files can get orphaned due to Exchange server crash, hard-disk errors, inaccessible Exchange server mailboxes and so on. EdbMails allows you to recover such orphaned OST files and convert them to PST. Read More
Recover and convert the encrypted OST files
An OST file can be encrypted using Outlook's account settings feature, preventing data mishandling and unwanted access. Therefore, passwords are required to access the data from the encrypted files. Such encrypted Outlook database files are susceptible to corruption, rendering the data inaccessible. Using the EdbMails application, you can recover the contents of an encrypted or password-protected files without any encryption key and convert them to PST. Read More
Recover deleted Mailbox items, folders from OST file
When mail items are deleted from Outlook or an Exchange server, they are usually found in the Deleted Items folder. However, if you accidentally delete those items from the Deleted Items folder as well, you must choose to recover those items. The best approach in such scenarios is to recover the deleted items from the OST file and convert it into a PST with EdbMails. Using the tool, you can recover deleted mailboxes, folders, files etc within a few clicks. Read More
Recover Metadata and Attachments
Metadata is any information contained within an email, such as "Message headers," "Message-ID," "Subject," "To address," "From address," "Date and Time" stamps, "Cc," "Bcc," and so on. When natively exporting an OST file, important metadata information may be lost, risking data integrity. Furthermore, if the original source file is corrupted or infected, recovering the metadata becomes even more difficult. EdbMails easily recovers and exports all metadata information, ensuring data consistency. You can save background images, attachments (with all extensions), appointments, and meeting schedules and export them to PST. Read More
Recover and export unlimited OST files
EdbMails allows you to recover an unlimited number of OST files and convert each recovered file into a separate PST file. It does not impose any size or folder restrictions for the recovery and export operations. You can recover and export the entire data to PST in a few clicks. Read More
Granular recovery of OST file
The recovery of specific items from a mailbox resulting in a complete recovery is referred to as granular recovery. This could be an email, a calendar item, a contact, a note, a journal entry, or anything else. EdbMails enables the recovery of granular OST data. In the Settings option, you can apply include/exclude filters to export specific items based on the 'Sent and Received Date', 'From' 'To' 'Cc', 'Bcc' 'Subject', and 'Attachment Name'. Read More
Rebuild OST file from Outlook 2019/2016/2013/2010
You will lose access to your offline mailbox if your Offline Outlook Data File (OST) gets corrupted. In order to have offline access to your mailbox, you must recover or rebuild the Outlook OST file. If you are unable to rebuild it manually, you can recover the OST file data and convert it to a PST file using EdbMails.. EdbMails software is compatible with all versions of Outlook such as 2019, 2016, 2013, and 2010.Read More

The tool preserves the exact source and destination folder hierarchy and all your mail data is safe if something happens to the local file or the Exchange server. All of the data in the source file is replicated in the output PST file without modifying the source in any way, ensuring the integrity of your valuable data. Read More

Read More
Export all emails, calendars, contacts and more
EdbMails includes the ability to export contacts, calendars, folders, journals, tasks from the source OST file to the target PST file. It preserves the exact folder hierarchy in the target PST file as in the source. For example, you might only want to convert specific contacts and calendar entries. This is simple with EdbMails' tool. After the conversion process, simply open the PST file in Microsoft Outlook to find all of your contacts, calendar events, tasks, and emails in the target PST file. Read More
Export selected emails and mail items from the OST file
When converting an OST file to a PST file, the original file may contain all of the emails and folders. Filter options are extremely useful in such scenarios because they allow you weed out unimportant mail items while selectively exporting mail data that is of interest. You can easily apply filters on the mail items in EdbMails to export only the required data during the conversion. Simply set the condition to include/exclude items from the export operation based on items received after/before the date, Subject, From, To, Cc, Bcc, and so on. Read More
Export selected or standard folders from the OST file
You can exclude or include specific folders such as Inbox, Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, Custom Folders, Sent Items, Outbox, Drafts, Notes, and Deleted Items for the conversion. By default, the tool excludes Conversation History and Junk Email folders. This feature is useful, for example, if you want to exclude Junk and unnecessary folders from the conversion process, thereby saving both bandwidth and time. Read More
Split a large OST file to multiple PST files
The OST file contains all of the mailbox data since the creation of the account. This includes contacts, calendar entries, tasks, journals, emails, and files, among other things leading to an overgrown OST file. When such a large file is directly exported to PST, the size of the PST file grows, resulting in PST corruption. EdbMails includes a feature that allows you to easily split the source file into multiple PST files during the export process. You can customize the size of the resulting PST files, which can then be imported into Outlook. Read More
Supports Unicode and ANSI OST file formats
Mailboxes on global domains are typically used by organizations and users from various countries. As a result, the corresponding OST file stored locally is synced with the same language settings . EdbMails easily converts multiple language settings, non-English Unicode and special characters. For example, you can convert the mailboxes if you have any Scandinavian or European users who name folders with letters like æ, ø, æ, å. The application also supports the ANSI file format. Read More
Export log report and view the conversion progress
EdbMails keeps track of the entire conversion process and generates a detailed log report after each task is completed. The log report contains complete information about the export operation and indicates the success or failure of the converted items. There is no need to manually compare and validate each folder from the source and target files. However, for the accuracy of the export operation, it is always recommended to verify the target data. Read More
Migrate OST file contents to Office 365 or live Exchange
You can directly migrate the contents of the OST file to Microsoft Office 365 and live Exchange using the EdbMails tool. There are no intermediate hops or conversions required, and the migration operation is incremental, avoiding duplicates on the target for subsequent migration operations to the same target account from the same PC.
