Is there any manual method available to convert outlook offline (ost to pst file format)?
Can you just open outlook without a network connection the OST contents should be there and just then use the normal outlook copy to a PST ?
(Done it once in an old version no idea about current)

Yes, there is. I found this article for you - http://semnaitik.com/convert-ost-to-pst/

As per the information shared in the above article, you can import mailbox content from OST to PST file without using any 3rd party tool. All you need to use is MS Outlook client. It has few built-in features like Archive, Export to a new file, Move the items into a new file, and Drag & Drop. By using any of these features, you can successfully import mailbox content from OST to PST. But make sure:
  • You're using the same computer system
  • You're connected to the MS Exchange Server.
  • And most importantly, the OST files are not corrupt.
Good luck.

Hello,

You can convert your OST files to PST by forwarding your Emails. but this option is only good when you don't have so many OST files. Just email your PST items to your personal email address. Just select the items, then right click and choose Forward. If you have many OST files, you could drag the files to a new folder in My Documents, then just zip the folder and email that zip file.

If this manual methods works for you then well and good or else definitely the alternative way is to use OST to PST converter to convert Outlook OST to PST in no time and in a very secure way.
