Recover metadata and attachments from OST files

Recover Metadata and Attachments in OST

Metadata is any information contained within an email like ‘Message headers’, ‘Message-ID’, ‘Subject’, ‘To address’, ‘From address’, ‘Date and Time’ stamps, ‘Cc’, Bcc’ etc;. Natively exporting OST to PST might miss out important metadata information threatening data integrity. In addition, if the source OST file is corrupted or infected, recovering the metadata becomes even more challenging.

Common uses of metadata and attachments

• Required for references, verifications and other legal purposes.
• Metadata and attachments serve as data records. For example, it might be required to check the exact time an email was sent.
• Useful and practical to search mails in the mailbox based on Sender, To Address, Attachment Name.
