OST2PST - converts Outlook OST files to PST format

OST2PST

Needed something to convert a 5GB Outlook OST file to PST format. Turned out Aspose has a good (commercial) API/library for Java to do exactly that. I had not touched Java for 10 years but got things sorted within a few hours thanks to clear instructions and good examples and docs. I just used the example and made minimal changes, nothing more.

Jar and wrappers:

• Main executable: ost2pst.jar
• Windows batch file: ost2pst.bat
• Linux shell script: ost2pst.sh
• SHA512SUMS
• JRE8

Usage:

ost2pst.bat <input.ost> <output.pst>

• same for .sh, or run the jar directly with java -jar ost2pst.jar
• currently the jar needs JRE8 but I might try to lower that requirement.
