You won't be able to pull out data from the outlook .ost file in any way. To get the data that is stored in it and open them in Outlook 2003, you just need to convert this file outlook.ost to outlook.pst. And then you'll be able to import it in Outlook 2003. Outlook 2003: tools -- options -- tab "mail configuration" -- button "data Files". Copy the current .pst to the desired location and add it.
