Hello,

There are many 3rd party applications which can do the convert for you. Example : http://www.ost-to-pst-free.com/

You need to ensure that the PST can be opened in Outlook 2016 after the convert.

There are multiple methods to convert any OST file into PST provided you can log in to Outlook with the same Exchange profile. Some native methods to convert OST to PST are presented here:

 

  1. Go to Files >Open & Export and click Import & Export.
  2. Select Export to a file; then click Next.
  3. Select the second option—Outlook Data File (.pst)—and click Next.
  4. Select the folder which you want to export and click Next.
  5. Browse the location where you want to save the new PST file and choose the options regarding the duplicate items.

Note: There is an optional choice to provide a password to the PST file, but you can easily move ahead without choosing it.

 

Method 2: Use ‘Archiving’ to save OST emails to PST

 

  1. Launch the Outlook application, go to File, and click Options.
  2. Go to Advanced and click Auto Archive Settings.
  3. Now select the number of days in which you want to run auto archiving. Select the folder to save the archived file; also, provide the archiving options and finally click OK.
  4. With this, mailbox items from your OST file will be saved to the PST file as per your archiving settings.
