SysTools OST Recovery is a reliable program for Windows that gives you the possibility to extract email messages from the Microsoft Outlook folder and save them on a hard drive as individual items. This is commonly done, if the OST files cannot be accessed manually.

Setup and interface

The installation process does not take a long time to complete. Nevertheless, it is necessary to note that MS Outlook has to be installed on your computer, otherwise the application will not work properly.

As far as the graphical user interface is concerned, it consists of a large window with an intuitive layout where you can use an Explorer-based folder structure to navigate directories and locate the desired OST files.

Run custom scans

You have the ability to browse contents of MS Outlook items and perform searches. It is possible to narrow the results when you are looking for a particular item by specifying the subject, location, start and end time, as well as recurrence and attachments. The software is capable of scanning the mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, journal and folder list locations. If you need to restore deleted email messages, you may use a special tool called Recover My Email.

Output settings

After the results are located, you are able to customize the output settings before proceeding with the extraction procedure.
