Common reasons for OST file corruption

- The Exchange server can become unavailable permanently in case of scenarios such as ransomware attacks, Exchange server crashes, or accidental mailbox deletions, which renders the Offline Storage Table (.ost) file an orphan.
- Various issues can prevent you from accessing the OST file in Outlook, such as registry or installation issues, leading to errors like 'Your Outlook data file could not be configured' or Outlook (cached mode) OST file not updating folders from the Exchange server, OST file synchronization errors, inconsistent Exchange database, and process terminations due to database corruptions.
- Overgrown OST file size can cause Outlook performance issues and may necessitate copying emails from Outlook to the hard drive in the form of a PST backup.
- Network interruptions during OST file synchronization, abnormal Outlook shutdown, and Outlook termination can damage and corrupt OST files, which can be recovered and converted to PST using EdbMails OST converter software.
- Accidentally deleted folders or emails in Exchange can be backed up to PST by exporting local OST files using EdbMails tool.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an OST file and how does it differ from PST files?
An OST (Offline Storage Table) file is an offline copy of an Exchange mailbox that is stored on the local computer. It enables you to work offline and synchronize the mailbox changes with the Exchange server when a connection is established. OST files are created automatically when the Exchange mailbox is configured in Cached Exchange mode in Microsoft Outlook.
A PST (Personal Storage Table) file, on the other hand, is a file format used to store copies of emails, contacts, calendars, and other data items in Microsoft Outlook. Unlike OST files, PST files are not synchronized with an Exchange server and are usually created for archiving or backup purposes.
The main difference between OST and PST files is that OST files are used for offline access to Exchange mailboxes while PST files are used for storing Outlook data locally. OST files are created in Cached Exchange mode to provide users with offline access to their Exchange mailbox data. PST files, on the other hand, are created by users to archive or backup Outlook data or to store data items that are not associated with Exchange server mailboxes.Does EdbMails fix OST file corruption?
