Export Mac OLM to PST

[Anderson tie]

Exporting Mac OLM to PST is useful when moving Outlook data from a Mac to a Windows computer. Outlook for Mac uses the OLM format, while Outlook for Windows commonly uses PST. Since Windows Outlook does not directly import OLM files, an OLM-to-PST conversion tool can simplify the migration.

Why Export Mac OLM to PST?

Users commonly convert OLM files to PST for:

Mac-to-Windows Outlook migration
Email backup and archiving
Transferring Outlook data to a new computer
Migrating business mailbox data
Exporting selected mailbox folders
Preserving emails and supported attachments

The mailbox data that can be transferred may include emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, notes, attachments, and custom folders, depending on the source file and conversion software.
