However, if your OST is orphaned or large, using a dedicated tool is the safest way to convert OST into EML and then import it into Windows Live Mail.<\/p>\n<h4>FAQs!<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Q1. What\u2019s the difference between importing and converting OST files to Windows Live Mail?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Importing means bringing emails directly, if possible, while converting changes OST files to a format that Windows Live Mail can open. Converting works better for large or orphaned OST files.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2.<\/strong> <strong>Can I open an OST file in Windows Live Mail directly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> No, Windows Live Mail cannot open OST files directly. You need to convert them to EML first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3. Can I import many OST emails at once into Windows Live Mail?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ans. Windows Live Mail does not support batch import for OST. You can use third-party tools to do it easily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4. Will my attachments and email formatting stay safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes, if you convert OST files correctly, attachments, images, and formatting are preserved. Manual methods may lose some data for corrupted OST files.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5. Can I add OST emails to my existing Windows Live Mail account?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes, after converting to EML, you can import them into your account folders. IMAP accounts will sync emails to the server automatically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q6. What if my OST file is damaged or not connected?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Manual methods won\u2019t work. Using a reliable OST converter is the best way to recover and import emails safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to import OST to Windows Live Mail (WLM)?
