OST files are often thought of as an Offline copy of your Exchange mailbox. They allow you to continue working even when not connected to the internet and sync all the changes that you make in Outlook with Exchange once the connectivity to Exchange is restored. However like any other database the Exchange OST file can also get corrupted and put all the data stored inside it in jeopardy.
Some of the reasons for OST corruption include:
Corruption in file system
Sudden termination of main Outlook process resulting in its closure of Outlook
Synchronisation issues
Malicious software infection
Here are some of the common OST file errors:
