Hi anyone know how to recover emails from an OST file?

Is it orphaned? As in, do you no longer have access to the mail profile for
which the OST file was created?
If so, you will probably need www.exchangerecovery.com

I think you meant "ExchangeRecovery" (also listed as "Recovery for
Exchange") from www.officerecovery.com. I've not tried it but I get the
impression that the demo version (free download) gives you an idea of how
much could be recovered, but you need the full version (shed-loads of wonga)
to perform the recovery.

Alternately you could try "OST2PST" (again, I have no experience of this),
http://www.xcopy32.com/details.php?file=24. Not clear whether this is free
or not.

Doing a google, http://www.payam.com.au/ seem to offer this service for a
relatively low cost.

I suspect that ALL of these work the same way, which is to convert the .ost
file to a .pst file which you can then open in outlook.

Hope you manage to recover your emails.
