If you're comfortable with PowerShell scripting, you can use the following script to transfer emails from an.ost file to a.pst file:

$ostFile = "C:\Path\To\Your\OSTFile.ost"
$pstFile = "C:\Path\To\Your\PSTFile.pst"

$ost = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$ost.GetNamespace("MAPI").Logon("Your Email Address", "Your Email Password")

$folders = $ost.GetDefaultFolder(6).Folders
foreach ($folder in $folders) {
    $items = $folder.Items
    foreach ($item in $items) {
        if ($item.Class -eq 1) {
            $item.SaveAs $pstFile, 2
        }
    }
}

$ost.Quit()

Replace the placeholders with your actual.ost file path,.pst file path, email address, and email password.

Remember to backup your.ost file before transferring emails to a.pst file, as this process may overwrite existing data in the.pst file.
