OST 2 MBOX

Microsoft Outlook stores its mailbox files to OST and PST format so, if you want to migrate to another mail client (such as Thunderbird), it might happen that you need a mailbox type converter, such as OST to MBOX. The main function of this application is clearly stated by its name: it obtains MBOX files out of OST mail message boxes.

One of the perks of OST to MBOX is related to its portability. There is no need to install the application, as it is ready for use as soon as you launch the executable file. In other words, you can use it on the go, for instance, from a removable USB drive No traces are left behind after using it on the host computer and the registry is not affected in any way.

Working with OST to MBOX is as easy as it gets: the application features an overly simplistic interface with a minimum number of options and menus. Essentially, all you have to do is browse for the file you want to convert and set the destination where the generated file should be saved. As easy as this might be, not being able to process multiple input files in one go is quite annoying. To put it another way, probably the biggest drawbacks of this application is the lack of support for batch operations.

On the bright side, OST to MBOX can preserve the original folder structure during the conversion. You can migrate without mixing up emails and folders you previously saved in Outlook.

Although the application is about converting between mailbox file formats, keep in mind that Microsoft Outlook is not a mandatory requirement of this application. The conversion can take place even if Outlook is not installed on your PC.

OST to MBOX is a simple tool, but it does allow you to quickly convert emails, contacts, calendars, notes and tasks in your OST Outlook mailbox to MBOX format, compatible with other mail clients. The application preserves all the email data and the folder structure in your mailboxes, which is quite convenient.
