How to Import OST to cPanel Email Account?

An OST file is an offline copy of an Outlook mailbox stored on a local computer. It allows users to work with their emails, contacts, calendars, etc, even without an internet connection. Once they reconnect, all changes sync automatically with the Exchnage. Sometimes, users need to import OST file into cPanel account. However, cPanel doesn’t support OST files directly. So, in this post, we will discuss two different techniques that will help users open OST file in cPanel email account without any trouble.

Let’s start the process without any further delay!

If you still have access to your Outlook account configured with the same OST file, then you can manually open OST file in cPanel email account. However, to do it, you need to convert OST to PST via Outlook import/export feature, add your cPanel account to Outlook, and then import PST to cPanel mailbox.

Follow these steps:

10. After that, again navigate to File >> Open & Export >> Import/Export.
11. Choose Import from another program or file and click Next.
12. Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and press Next.
13. Browse and choose the above exported .pst file.
