Identifying OST File Error and Its Solution

OST or Offline Storage Table are exchange offline folder which allow users to work in an Offline mode. User can easily create/write new emails, save them and even do anything being offline. Once connected to the Exchange, these changes will automatically get synchronized with Live Exchange Server. OST files stored on the system's hard drive may get corrupted at times and start showing different error messages, while trying to sync changes to Exchange Server. I know, how irritating it is to face such irritating errors in OST mail but this blog has something interesting for users to come out of such OST file errors.

OST File Error- The most common error in OST file is an Internal Error Code 0000000E. This error generally occurs during the time of synchronization between OST file and Exchange Server. In this case, the corrupted OST file becomes inaccessible and does not contribute to the synchronization process. So, whenever a user tries to access it, several errors are observed which can be in different forms-

  • OST file internal error code 00000003
  • Error Code 0x8004103b
  • Error 8004011D-526-80040115-0
  • Error Message/c5e20916-9359-43fc-9bd9
  • Service specific error (0*0) 0

These internal errors can be fixed by using OST to PST Converter Software program which is designed to recover files lost due to power failure, virus attack, file system corruption or when accessing OST file while system shut down. This software performs secured conversion of OST files to Outlook importable PST and further exports the data into a newly created PST at any desired location. Its advanced scanning techniques scans the OST file even if the corruption is severe. In addition, this software also allows you to save the converted mail messages into MSG or HTML format. This PST file can further be accessed in MS Outlook when the recovery process is successfully performed. Through this repair tool, users can even convert OST to PST files with full attachment like Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Drafts, Journals, Notes, Tasks, Calendars, Contacts and so on. OST to PST Converter Software allows you to preview the recovered mail messages but to save them users need to download the license key available with the original version.
