I do not think that you can convert OST to PST. I found the information
below at www.technet.com <http://www.technet.com/>
* Personal folder (.pst) files located on the user's computer.
One or more .pst files can reside on each user's computer. A .pst file
can be defined as your primary store, meaning that your mail is
delivered to the Inbox in that file, and all of your other default
Outlook folders, such as Calendar, Contacts, Deleted Items, Journal,
Notes, Sent Items, and Tasks reside there. Or, a .pst file can be
defined as a secondary store, so that you can move items to it, either
manually or with Inbox Rules, from your primary store.
Each .pst file can contain as many folders as you want, and each folder
can contain a maximum of 64,000 records. The total size of a .pst file
cannot exceed 2 gigabytes.
* Offline store (.ost) files located on the user's computer.
Only one .ost file can exist for each user profile. The .ost file is
always defined as your primary store. Your mail is delivered to the
Inbox in that file, and all of your other default Outlook folders, such
as Calendar, Contacts, Deleted Items, Journal, Notes, Sent Items, and
Tasks, reside there.
The .ost file differs from the .pst file because .ost items can also
reside in the user's mailbox on the server. You can synchronize the .ost
file and mailbox folders so that they always contain the same
information. Then, you can work offline when the server is unavailable;
when you reconnect to the server, changes that you made offline are
uploaded to the server, and mail received while you were offline is
downloaded to the .ost file.
