Why to Convert OST to MD?

The Outlook Storage Table (OST) file format is used to store emails, contacts, calendar items, and other data from Microsoft Outlook. It is a local copy of the user’s mailbox stored on the user’s computer. OST files are not compatible with other email clients and applications, and therefore need to be converted to a more widely accepted format such as MD.

Aspose.Total for Python via .NET is a full package of various APIs dealing different formats including Email, Images and Microsoft Word formats. It provides a comprehensive set of APIs to automate the conversion process from OST to MD. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET, which makes the conversion easy using Python. The conversion process is a two step process.

This process is simple and efficient, and can be used to quickly convert OST files into MD format.
