OST files are encrypted and tied to specific Outlook profiles, making them incompatible with other email clients like Thunderbird. However, you can easily overcome this limitation by using a reliable tool such as the Advik OST Converter. This software can transfer OST files into Thunderbird. It has a dual mode that enables you to import single or multiple OST files at once.
