Outlook Connector NST Files
Today my wife's hotmail account got hacked. All that's left on her computer
is a large outlook.nst file (1 GB) and some small .pst files (28MB). She can no longer access her hotmail account. It seems to me that her old e-mails and contacts are in the outlook.nst file, but we cannot open it. Can anyone tell me what is stored in the .nst file and how we can read it?

Make a copy of the file before you try this.
Rename the file to outlook.pst and then try to open it in Outlook using File-Open-Outlook Data File. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] ALWAYS post your Outlook version!

Milly,
I tried that. Outlook said "not a .pst file". After searching online, I found one instance of someone else having a similar problem (in early 2008). They renamed the file to .ost and then paid $200 to convert it to a .pst file. I tried a demo version of some software to do this - the e-mail comes through but the contacts don't. We are running the latest version of "Outlook Connector". Is there anyone on that team that can tell me what is in the .nst file? Apparently, it is undocumented.

An .ost file is for Exchange offline folders, not for any data used by a
non-Exchange server user. Interesting... -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. ALWAYS post your Outlook version.

Milly,
Do you have any idea what is in a .nst file? It somehow synchronizes Outlook and Hotmail. E-mail is definitely stored in the file (as I said we renamed it to .ost and used a 3rd party recovery program to read parts of it). Anyone from the Outlook Connector team read these discussions?
