We can access emails, files, journals, reminders, appointments in MS outlook without any internet connection. The technology behind this is OST files. It allows us to use all the mail data without having any internet connections. We can also make changes in our MS outlook when our computer is offline. Later, when your computer gets connected with the Exchange server, then the stored changes and data in the form of OST file will be converted into PST.

It might happen that your MS office does not function as it has to be. If you are facing any errors or dysfunctional problems then it may be because the OST files are unable to synchronize with the exchange server.

There are numerous cases in MS outlook where people are facing problems because of the Corrupt OST files. It is rather common in MS outlook 2007. Such problems can be recovered easily when you follow the right procedure.

Following errors are the obvious because of OST files:

“Outlook.ost files cannot be accessed”

“The default outlook profile ost is in use and it cannot be accessed”

“MS Outlook is not responding”

“OST files are in use by other application”

These errors can be resolved when you repair your OST files. For this, the first step that you should take is to enlist the OST Integrity Check Tool. For this you need to follow these steps:

# Close your MS Outlook Application
