Recover Metadata and Attachments from OST files

Metadata refers to 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 exporting OST to PST from Outlook, important metadata information may be lost, threatening data integrity for compliance and similar requirements. Furthermore, if the original OST file is corrupted or infected, recovering the metadata from Outlook is not possible.

Recover metadata and attachments from OST files

Common uses of metadata and attachments in emails

  • Metadata is important for many businesses because they contain sensitive and important information including sender and recipient address.
  • Required for email references, verifications, compliance and legal requirements.
  • Metadata and attachments serve as data records. For instance, it might be required to check the exact time an email was sent.
  • Metadata information is useful and practical to search for emails and selectively export mail items based on Sender, To Address, Attachment Name.
  • Metadata information can help distinguish spam emails from legitimate senders. For instance, email headers can be used with trace email tools to determine the source of an email.

EdbMails OST to PST converter tool effortlessly recovers and exports all the metadata information from OST to PST thus maintaining data consistency. You can save background images, attachments (with all extensions), appointments, meeting schedules, from inaccessible OST files and export them to PST. You no longer have to worry about data consistency and integrity with EdbMails.
