How do I convert .olm files to .pst ?

I would like to take my contacts, e-mails and calender entries from Mac Outlook and place them into Microsoft Office??



What is the best and simplest way to do that?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

There are many software in the market which support such conversion. You can also try a third-party OLM to PST converter tool for convert OLM file to PST format. For any other information and free download about this tool visit

The site you linked to does a good job of disguising the fact that this software also costs $99.00, but not good enough.


Post the price next time, stop pretending that it is free.

There are two methods to convert olm file to pst file “Manual & Automatic”. You can try manual method which is little bit tough to implement and also very time consuming. Follow these steps:

  1. 1. Setup IMAP Mail Account
  2. 2. Configure Mac Outlook with IMAP Mail Account
  3. 3. Synchronize GMail with Mac Outlook
  4. 4. Move Emails to Mailbox of IMAP
  5. 5. Transfer Emails in Windows Outlook from IMAP Mailbox

In automatic method, you only need to download online application & can convert olm file in few simple steps. Please check this software for same purpose: http://download.cnet.com/Stellar-OLM-to-PST-Converter/3000-2369_4-76038003.html

Do it for free


I was in the same boat where i have to migrate my mails (1.5 GB) from MacOutlook2011 (olm) to outlook 2010 ( pst)

after hours of serach i was able to convert all my olm mails to pst format . this is what i did , do exactly the same, do not deviate from any of the steps


1. from your outlook 2011(mac) drag the folders to a location (i drag it on my desktop). this will create a mbox file

2. open your mail app on mac and import the mbox files cretaed in step 1

3. once step 2 is done , export the mails from mail app in mbox format

4. there is a difference between mbox format created in step 1 and step 3

5. install thundirbird and also install a addon known as importexport tools in thundrirbird

6. import the mbox folder creted in step 3 in thunerbird using importexport addon

7. once step 6 is done export the folder from thunbird in eml format in a folder using importexport addon

8. go to windows and install windows live mail from windows essential pack

9 import the folder created in step 7

10. after step 9 export mail from windowslive mail to in exchange format

11. open up your windows outlook and you shuld see all your mail in folder name storage


and thats it , its time consuming but will save you some beer money,
