Both PST and OST files are native to Windows Outlook but are used for different purposes. PST is a more personal Outlook file that you can use for importing, exporting, backing up data, etc. But OST is an internal file that works in direct way with Outlook’s internal functionality. It stores data but you cannot use it manually.
There are many cases where you can find the file isolated. In other words, it cannot communicate with the servers, leaving the data stuck with the file itself.
The other aspect of this article is the PST file too. Even though you can manually use it in Outlook, both Mac and Windows, the file format is pretty much useless when it comes to other clients like Mac Mail, Thunderbird, or other primarily Mac based clients.
