Opening and old OST?

[Alex Tolkachev]

Hi,

I switched jobs and I wanted to preserve my e-mail, so I
copied my Oulook OST file, thinking I would be able to use
it at the new place. In retrospect, that was wrong, and I
should have saved my messages to a PST. But for now, OST
is all I have.

When I tried to attach it to my new Inbox I got the error
that is described in <a
href=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;147681>this</a> KB article.
The article says this is by design. I understand, but it
does not help me get to several years' worth of messages.

Is there a trick or a third party tool that will allow me
to access the messages in my incompatible OST?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks.

I assume it's the only option, or you would have mentioned
other ones?

Only one I know of. It does work, for what it's worth.
