No, it is not possible to import OST file into Outlook. Outlook automatically creates an OST file when you add a new email account and downloads mailbox data from the server to the OST for offline use. The OST file is bound to the specific email account and encrypted with a key generated by MAPIEntryID GUID. Thus, an OST file cannot be accessed if the associated email account is not available. In this case, the mailbox data inside the OST becomes inaccessible, and you would need to use Stellar Converter for OST to import OST data into PST. The software converts OST file to PST file and extracts the mailbox data, which can be imported into Outlook 2019, 2016, 2010, 2007, and older versions.
