But what if you need to open OST file without Outlook or Exchange access? Whether your OST File is corrupted or you don\u2019t have Outlook, you might need a reliable way to view your emails. This blog will look at different methods to view OST files. We will also learn about <strong>Cigati <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/ost-file-viewer\/\">OST File Viewer<\/a>,<\/strong> which helps users view their OST Files and the attachments.

The points given below are some of the situations where the user needs to open an OST File without MS Outlook:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Many users need to access data from an orphaned OST file when Outlook or Exchange connectivity is lost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sometimes, OST Files contain important information and therefore, need to be recovered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OST files act as a local copy of the Exchange mailbox and serve as a valuable backup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An orphaned OST file is not supported by Outlook and therefore cannot be imported.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users receive OST files from clients that they need to open independently.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Open_OST_File_Without_Outlook_%E2%80%93_Easy_Methods\"><\/span>How Do I Open OST File Without Outlook? &#8211; Easy Methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening an OST file can be done in two ways. The process depends on whether the OST file can be opened in Outlook or without Outlook. Review both cases below and proceed with the appropriate steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manual_Procedure_to_Open_OST_File_in_Outlook\"><\/span>Manual Procedure to Open OST File in Outlook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outlook does not allow access to an orphaned OST File. However, if the file is linked to an Outlook profile or connected to an Exchange Server, you can manually export its contents to a PST file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the following steps to begin the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the <strong>MS Outlook<\/strong> application on your system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, click on <strong>File<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Open &amp; Export<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Import\/Export<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Export to a file<\/strong> and then click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Outlook Data File (.pst)<\/strong> and click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, choose the mailbox folders that you want to export.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select a destination location to save your file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lastly, click <strong>Finish<\/strong> to complete the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations: <\/strong>This method is only useful if you can access your OST File in Outlook. Moreover, this method is not used to open an orphaned OST File.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Way_to_Open_OST_File_Without_Outlook_App\"><\/span>Professional Way to Open OST File Without Outlook App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>OST File Viewer<\/strong> is an advanced software that enables users to open and view an OST file without Outlook or Exchange Server. It supports saving the OST files in various file formats like PST, EML, MBOX, etc. The software also helps users to preview multiple OST Files in bulk and to view emails without the attachments. Some of its powerful features are removing duplicate emails, filtering emails by date or keywords, and splitting large PST files etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perform_these_step-by-step_instructions_to_view_OST_files_without_Outlook\"><\/span>Perform these step-by-step instructions to view OST files without Outlook:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download and install the <strong>OST File Viewer Tool<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, choose from <strong>Select Folder<\/strong> or <strong>Single File\/Multiple Files<\/strong> and click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press on <strong>Select Files<\/strong> to add an OST File and click on <strong>Open.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expand the tree structure, select the folders, and then <strong>preview<\/strong> the contents.

One of the effective and easy methods is by converting an OST file into PST format and then opening it in Outlook. But this manual conversion requires advanced technical skills and proper setup.
