Frequently Asked Questions Regarding OST to CSV Converter

1. Can I open and edit the converted CSV file in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets?

Yes. You get a standard .csv file that opens straight in Excel or Google Sheets. From there you can view, edit, sort, or filter the contact rows however you like.

2. Do I need to install Microsoft Outlook on my computer to convert OST contacts to CSV?

No. It runs on its own — no Outlook install and no Exchange connection needed.

3. Can I extract contacts from an orphaned, inaccessible, or corrupted OST file?

Yes for orphaned, inaccessible, Exchange-disconnected, or IMAP-cached OST files. Address book data comes straight from the file — you don’t need to reconnect Exchange or rebuild an Outlook profile. Large OST files export without chopping up the database.

4. Does the software preserve all contact fields (e.g., job title, company, address, notes) in dedicated CSV columns?

Yes. Contact details land in their own CSV columns — Full Names, Multiple Email Addresses, Phone Numbers, Company, Department, Postal Addresses, Notes, and the rest of the address book fields — so nothing important gets mashed together.

5. Can I import the generated CSV address book into Google Contacts or CRM platforms like Salesforce?

Yes. The CSV is shaped for import into Google Contacts, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Excel, and Google Sheets — handy when you’re moving an offline OST address book into spreadsheet or CRM workflows.

6. Will the tool extract contacts from multiple distribution lists and sub-folders within the OST?

Yes. After you load the OST, pick contact folders from the left pane, preview distribution lists and sub-folders, and skip blank ones. For several OST files at once, use Folder Mode.

7. Is there any contact count limit when converting large enterprise address books?

No file-size cap. Oversized enterprise OST address books are fine. The full license unlocks unlimited conversion.

8. What are the specific capabilities and export limitations of the free trial version?

The free demo lets you preview every contact entry and export up to 10 contacts per folder so you can test the CSV first. Full license unlocks unlimited export from $49. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
