Unlimited OST Files Recovery and Export
When managing multiple mailboxes at once, exporting several OST files to PST quickly becomes a practical requirement. This is common during large-scale mailbox recovery, data migration projects, or when working with inactive or disconnected Outlook profiles. However, built-in Outlook export options offer limited support, particularly for large, corrupted, or orphaned OST files, making bulk exports slow and unreliable.
