How to move Outlook to Mac Mail ?

I need to retrieve Outlook and move it to Mac's Mail app. Any ideas of where to locate Outlook and how to export it into Mac's Mail?

Thanks,

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)

That's not how you do it, unless you can find a third party (typically these are not free) app to convert the Outlook database to Apple Mail. Apple Mail can "import" mbox files, so you need to export your Outlook folders to mbox format by dragging them to the desktop. If you have a lot of folders, this can take a long time.

The process is imperfect as sometimes there are formatting artifacts and attachments might not all convert properly.

You might consider keeping Outlook for "legacy" emails and use Apple Mail going forward.
