Converting Olm files to Mbox

I have office for mac 2011, run outlook 2011 as my e-mail client. Since few days outlook doesn't seem to run as fast as it used to be in earlier days. I did re-install the office thrice but the results are the same. So i decided to switch to Apple mail, that works great, but the problem is i want to move all my e-mails to apple mail and also my contacts and calender to address book and ical. I have a whole lot of mails to be transferred.



Your helpful suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks for help.

If you have all the latest updates to Outlook, drag a folder from Outlook to your desktop and it will export as an mbox file which you can then import into Mail. To get your contacts and calendards into the OS X applications, go to Sync Services under the Tools menu in Outlook and select to sync the contacts and calendar.

You can use an intermediary IMAP server, or simply create corresponding folders in Finder and drag and drop the messages from within Outlook to that folder. Then you can import to Mail from those folders/files.
