What is OST FILE ?

OST File

• The OST file, generally termed as offline storage
  table file, is used by Microsoft Exchange Server
  to facilitate a user in accessing user mailbox
  data maintained on the Exchange Server, in
  situations when mail server isn't directly
  accessible. These OST files are the exact
  replica of the user mailboxes maintained on the
  server.
• Best aspect of OST is that it facilitates MS
  Outlook user to access mailbox data even when
  connection with exchange server is not set-up.
