You can not access .ost data into outlook because there is no one utility to direct access ost data, In this situation you have to copy data in .pst format and than import tham in other application.The only solution is use convert ost utility......For more information visit

I recently left a company and brought my archive files with me. I do not
have3 the original machine ( Windows xp + Outlook 2000) and now have Vista
with Windows MAil.
I cannot run the import utility ( Cannot import messagesfrom the MAPI
client)
Any ideas?
Thanks

In addition to the requirement to convert your .OST file into a .PST file,
you will need to install Outlook on your Vista machine in order to import
into Windows Mail. WM, like OE before it, requires Outlook to be installed,
functional, and connected to the .PST file in order to access it. If
Outlook is not present, you get the MAPI client error you mention>

Open outlook.
Export current emails to PST.
Close the Outlook.
Go to outlook OST folder.
[ in general C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook ]
Replace the existing OST with the OST you want to import into outlook.
Open outlook.
At this point you should see all the old emails and folders.
Now, export these mails to PST format.
Close the outlook.
Go to the outlook OST folder again.
Delete the OST. ( next time when you restart outlook it will automatically create a new OST, so dont worry!).
Open the Outlook.
Let it download all the existing emails from the Exchange server.
Now import the mails from the PST your created above.
I hope this helps.On Wednesday, December 09, 2009 8:53 AM Diane Poremsky [MVP] wrote:
What possessed you to reply to a 2+ yr old message that was correctly
answered 2 yrs ago, with the wrong answer? Your method will only work if
the original profile that created the OST exists on the user's machine -
which he said it does not:
"I recently left a company and brought my archive files with me. I do not
have the original machine"
The only way for this user to get into the contents is using an OST to PST
conversion tool. See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/ost2pst.asp for
tools and methods if the exchange acct exists or was recently deleted.

I cannot believe how belittling you are to someone who is trying to help.
Yes they got it wrong, but you do not need to treat someone like that. You
devalue the title of MVP by your behavior.
extraordinary behaviour, we await an apology.....
