What is EML File Format?
EML file format represents email messages saved using Outlook and other relevant applications. Almost all emailing clients support this file format for its compliance with RFC-822 Internet Message Format Standard. Microsoft Outlook is the default software for opening EML message types. EML files can be used for saving to disc as well as sending out to recipients using communication protocols.
What is OST File Format?
OST (Offline Storage Table) file format is a file that stores a copy of mailbox items from an Exchange server, allowing users to access their mailbox data even when they are offline. OST files are synchronized with the Exchange server when a connection is established, ensuring that any changes made offline are updated on the server as well. OST files are used by Microsoft Outlook for email, contacts, calendars, tasks, and other mailbox items in an Exchange environment.
