My Outlook keeps freezing whenever I try to open my OST file. I just need to view the emails, not edit them, so I think converting them into HTML format will be easier. Does anyone know a safe OST to HTML converter that works well?

If your OST file isn't loading in Outlook, it may be either corrupt or the connection between the OST file and your Outlook profile is broken. Either way, the easiest way to access your mailbox data would be to convert the OST mail items into HTML format so that you may easily open them in a browser. The best option to accomplish this task is to use FixVare OST to HTML Converter. This handy conversion tool will allow you to convert your OST emails to HTML files without the need for Outlook or an Exchange Server.
Once your OST mail items are converted, you can open the HTML files in any browser(Chrome and Firefox). It offers a free demo version for all users, so they can easily understand it without any trouble.

When Outlook does not load the OST file, you can still open the emails by converting them to HTML. Softaken OST to HTML Converter, like other similar software, allows you to simply open the OST file and convert all of the emails into HTML format that can be rendered by any web browser. The original formatting, attachments, and folder structure are retained during the conversion of the file, so nothing will get lost during the save. This enables you to view the mailbox in any browser, without using Outlook. This is a quick and effective method when the OST file cannot be opened.
