It seems I need to convert my OST file to PST file in order to gain access.

I cant import og anything like that...

Using Outlook 2013 - POP/IMAP, not Exchange account

Have tried several software, thouhg most are only Outlook 2010.

Any ideas???

A OST file is not a PST file, you cant just add it like you would a PST file.

You will either need to buy a 3rd party tool to convert your OST to PST (I have no experience with any) or you will need to configure a new Outlook mail profile for the same email account and point this to the OST file. Not sure if thats even possible with POP/IMAP accounts, but certainly any OST to PST converters will work with Outlook 2010 or 2013 alike.
