It's tied to the profile (on your former work machine).

I think even the conversion utilities require that profile.

I copied the OST file from my work computer at a former job. I want to
access my old e-mails, address books, etc. from that old account. I have
outlook 2003 installed on my home computer - the same version I had at my
old
job. Is there a way to import the messages, etc. from the OST file into
my
home computer?
