As stated in the title. There is a thread over
here whereby with it you can change the default location of the ost file (where it's created) in office 2013 because it seems like Outlook keeps creating the ost file in the appdata folder even after moving it from under the "data files" option from the Mail option in control panel. As it happens I managed to get the default location moved but upon creation of the new mail profile. The profile defaulted to a .pst filetype rather than the .ost (offline cache) filetype. Repurcusions? Office refuses to open the .ost file which it created itself!
The error shown was that the file was configured to work with another mailbox and that it cannot load it even though the settings / credentials I put in were the exact same as the previous profile.
Please help because I really require the emails that are stored in this ost file. Things I tried include removing the registry entry which I had originally put in to revert everything to its default.
I also tried download ost to pst converters but none seem to work with the 2013 ost file format.
Gentlemen Please Help
Kind Regards
