What is EMLX File Format?

EMLX is a file format used by Apple Mail. It is a proprietary file format used to store individual email messages on macOS and Mac OS X operating systems. Each EMLX file represents a single email message and typically contains the email’s content, attachments, headers, and metadata. They are usually stored in a nested directory structure on the user’s computer, with each email message saved as a separate file. The EMLX format allows Apple Mail to efficiently manage and store email messages while providing easy access to individual messages for users.

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.
