The only solution to overcome from this is the PST files that is converting IMAP OST file to PST format. Now to protect those IMAP Contact and calendar folder you need to think solution to overcome from those disappeared OST files. This is the serious damage to the data stored in Outlook 2013/2016. Because of this you cannot move that OST file to different system. In this case, if any disaster like unplanned formatting, if the OST files orphaned or OST file corruption, accidental deletion happens, then the file cannot be opened even when you have a copy of that file which is saved on different drive. Only these folders are stored locally and emails are backed up in the server. Where as in the outlook version 20 all the calendar and contacts folders are saved locally and when we see those calendar and contacts folders in the outlook 20 we can see the word like “This Computer Only” which is carved next to them. The main principle of the OST file is to save all the mailbox data within the OST files and thus it is backed up automatically on the server. But the problem lies in the recent outlook versions (2013/2016), in this version for every outlook profile only single OST file is created to save all the mail and non-mail data. This helps users to save all their PST files copies elsewhere and those saved files can be taken back up whenever it is necessary.


Also you can perform OST file migration to Live Exchange or to Office 365.ĭamages to Microsoft outlook 2013/2016 calendar and contact Foldersįor every profile until outlook 2010, IMAP email folders are saved within the PST file which was different than the PST file which helps to store contact and calendar folders.
