Title: How to save email to .pst instead of .ost?
Post by: NormanDuncan on 13. June 2016., 16:28:44

We are getting ready to migrate some email users to Office 365 from a 3rd party email host.  They use outlook 2010 to access their email.  I know how to export to a .pst file, however he wants me to configure the users to automatically start saving to a .pst file so that way it is ready to import when we make the change over.  How do I do this?  I know that Outlook saves to a .ost file normally, not sure how to make it keep a updated .pst file automatically.

A .OST is a cashed Exchange mailbox file. If you need to have a .PST file, you can only perform a move or copy, or convert the file with other 3rd-party software. What "he" wants to do is not possible. ???

Outlook automatically saves all emails data as OST file for offline uses. There are not any manual ways to save emails as PST file. But, you can convert OST file to PST format using a third-party OST to PST Converter without losing any data. You can also use this software to export mailboxes from OST file to Office 365 directly.

Outlook will directly automatically save all email data as OST file for offline uses. And there is not any manual method to save emails in PST file format. But with the help of OST to PST Converter, you can transfer emails as well as other OST data to PST file format. This utility has worked with all versions of MS Outlook such as 2013, 2016, 2019, etc.
