To import OLM files (used by Outlook for Mac) into Apple Mail, which doesn't natively support the OLM format, you'll need to convert them into the compatible MBOX format using an automated method, and here’s a detailed guide to help you achieve this.
Step 1: Export OLM File from Outlook for Mac
- Open Microsoft Outlook for Mac application.
- Go to the File menu and select Export.
- Choose the items you want to export (emails, calendars, contacts, etc.).
- Select the OLM format and save the file to your desired location.
Step 2: Convert OLM to MBOX Format
Since Apple Mail supports the MBOX format, you'll need to convert the OLM file to MBOX. You can use third-party tool like Cigati OLM Converter:
- Install and launch the OLM to MBOX converter of your choice.
- Add your OLM file into the converter.
- Select the output format as MBOX.
- Complete the conversion process and save the MBOX file.
Step 3: Import MBOX into Apple Mail
- Open Apple Mail application on your mac.
- Go to File > Import Mailboxes.
- Choose Files in MBOX format and click Continue.
- Locate the converted MBOX file and click Choose.
- Apple Mail will import the emails, and they will appear under the Imported Mailbox section.
By following these steps, you can successfully import your OLM files into Apple Mail and access your emails seamlessly.
