Default Exchange OST File

We recently converted from Exchange to POP3 service and I removed the
Exchange server email account in Outlook BEFORE I had a chance to transfer
the inbox, contacts, etc...how can I gain access to the data now as I believe
it is contained in a OFT file.

Many thanks in advance.

Do you still have access to an Exchange server?

Neo;

Unfortunately not. And unfortunately, I probably won't be able to.

Hmm... well, not knowing what version of Exchange was in play at the time
and whether or not you are holding onto a ansi or unicode flavor OST file...
try a tool called OST2PST. It might save your bacon if OST file is from a
legacy version of Outlook/Exchange. (Run this tool against a copy of your
OST and not the original.)
