I recently formatted my laptop but I archived the .ost file. I did not have
time to backup my emails to my .pst and I thought that by leaving them in the
.ost, I will be able to recover them. Now that I see the hurdle, can anyone
assist me in crossing it please?
Simply reconnect to your Exchange server. The ost-file is only a cache of
your Exchange mailbox. It will rebuild once you reconnect.
